I believe another poster provided the exact switch you need, which you can
also find in Word's Help file, as indicated. The basic switch information
(reproduced and edited from Word's Help) is at the bottom of Graham's
article. The Numeric Picture (\#) field switch is the one you want.

You need a "numeric picture switch." See this topic in Help or

Thanks but that (the linked webpage) looks like pretty heavy-duty reading.
Isn't there a more simple way of selecting these options for number
formats?
I mean, this is not anything arcane -- wanting 'thousands' numbers to
include
commas, and 'decimal places' to display two numbers right of the decimal
point (even if the rightmost number is a zero).
