G'day "Hélène" ,

Try defining two styles, Body Text French and Body Text English. Set
the language of those styles appropriately. You MAY have some luck but
I doubt. You would have to resort to hard formatting.

Hélène reckoned:

Hello,

Here's a tough one: I am trying to create two tables in one document
(XP/2003). One table would show numbers in French (format: 1 765,67 $).
The other table would show numbers in English (format: $1,567.89). ALSO I
need to indicate my negative numbers in brakets.

Fun, no? Anyway, I changed the regional settings to French and my French
table is beautiful but... as soon as I start entering English numbers, well,
huh-huh, the decimal tabs align on whatever comes first, either the coma or
the period.

Is there a way to indicate to Word that my document is displaying English
and French numbers?

Thank you.

Hélène
