numeric formatting within a cell
"CKR" wrote: My employer has recently asked me to switch all of the form templates I created a few years ago from Word Perfect to WORD. In my job, I chart medical appointments and insurance payments for the kids at a private school. So, in the chart I created for the kids, I have wording in some colums and numbers in others. I need to know how to format only the colums that I select within the table to automatically show in monetary values so that I do not constantly have to type in the $ sign and decimal point. I have looked at all of the dropdown menus and somehow cannot find this feature. Is there or is ther not a way in Word to assign numeric formating to table cells? |

Hi Diane,
Unless you're using fields (which I wouldn't recommend for simple table maintenance), there is nothing you can set in Word to force a table cell to adopt a particular numeric format by default.
