Default Word Table-Automatically show a $ in the money column?

There's really no simple way to do this in Word except by embedding an Excel
sheet. The only way to create a "number mask" in Word is through field
switches, and that requires that you be using a field. If the money amount
was a form field, you could define the format, but you would have to protect
the document for forms.

In Word, I have made a table with names of donors, their address, and the
amounts they donated. One column is money amounts...I would like to just
type
in say, 25 and have it come out as $25. How do I get the $ in there
automatically?
