Default how do i copy the actual text of a formula?

....that probably does not make much sense. let me explain. say i have
a formula which adds up cells A2:A10. How do i copy the formula of the
actual text ' =SUM(A2:A10)'
I wish to paste it into a cell as text. even if use the paste special
command i just get gobbledygook. Currently, I am highlighting, say,
=SUM(A2:A10) in the forumla bar and attempting to paste it into a
cell. I was able to copy and paste into this box i am typing without
any problems and into Word etc.
