Either format numbers in cell or comma on 10-key?
I have to type large numbers into a Word table. Is there a way in Word to
either format the table cells so a comma is automatically inserted at the thousands position? If not, is there a ~recommended and feasible~ way to map a comma onto the 10-key portion of my keyboard? Thank you. Ed |

ALT + 044 will give you a comma, if that's any help to you.

Hard to do one-handed.

You can assign a comma to a key, for example the * key on the number
pad. Open a document based on the template in which you want to store this customization. Then run the following macro (it only needs to be run once, and the template then needs to be saved): Sub AssignCommaToNumPadStar() CustomizationContext = ActiveDocument.AttachedTemplate KeyBindings.Add KeyCategory:=wdKeyCategorySymbol, _ Command:=",", _ KeyCode:=BuildKeyCode(wdKeyNumericMultiply) End Sub -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

Thank you, Jay! I appreciate this. I thought I might have to reassign a
key permanently through Windows - but this can be done isolated to a certain Word template? That's great! Ed "Jay Freedman" wrote in message ...
