I open an existing project. (Home > Open Project)
I go to the Files view.
There is only one file in this project, I see the file.
I select the source language in the top left menu (under the word FILES), switch it to the project source language.
I right-click the file. The ADD FILES selection is greyed out.
In the top ribbon, in FILE ACTIONS, the ADD FILES button is also greyed out.

What am I doing wrong?

Using:
Windows 7

... you created a single file project in the first place. These projects are "special" projects that are created by using the "Translate Single Document" approach. If you wish to work with multiple files you have to create what's known as a "Standard Project" using the wizard.

The "Single file project" is just a quick way to translate one file for people who like to work this way. There is an article here by Emma Goldsmith that might be useful for you.

ADD FILES button now works Oct 26, 2014

Thank you, Paul, that answered my question perfectly and helped me solve my problem.

I re-created the project, in the usual "create a project" way, added the initial file and the others. The client told me to expect several new files to add to these. Thanks to your help, I'll be ready.
