Formatting decimal places in a Word table
I would like to format some numbers in a Word (MSOffice 2000) table to show
two decimal places instead of one. (I have a mixture of one- and two-decimal place numbers and I want to format them uniformly.) I have been unable to find any way to do that. I have tried doing it through the "Formula" property from the "Tables" toolbar, but if I type in a format only, i. e. no formula, the function will not take it. Can someone help me? Thank you.

Word tables are not spreadsheets. The contents of a cell are simply text;
not dynamic content evaluated and formatted automatically as you work. Embed or link part of a worksheet if you need Excel-like functionality. "Terri Creagh" wrote in message .net...

Answer: Formatting decimal places in a Word table
Hi Terri,
Formatting decimal places in a Word table is actually quite easy. Here's how you can do it:
This should format the selected cells to show two decimal places. If you have a mixture of one- and two-decimal place numbers, you can select all the cells and apply the formatting to make them uniform.
