I have a table that I use--it has a column of figures which in the last box
I
tally. I use Word's feature where you can insert a field like this:
{=sum(c1:c6)}

IF there are no cents in the column, it returns a number like this: 760
But I would like to return it in this format: 760.00, or even better:
$760.00

Can someone clear up for me if I can add some switches or other formatting
to the field to make the number turn out this way?

Thanks.
