Default How format numbers resulting from 'math' formulas in WORD tabl

Hi mkraft,

The '\#' tells Word what type of formatting switch it is dealing with. What follows after the space is the switch format.

Look at the help topic "Numeric Picture (\#) field switch". For the

examples you
give, the field might look like

{= SUM(ABOVE) \# #,###.00}


Thanks. Why is there a space between the first two '#' characters?
