How do I format rows in a table in Word? (i.e. $,%,etc)
If I have a table in Word, and want to format a column to read money as an
example (If I type "2.31" I want it to format to read: "$2.31"), how do I do that? Or if I want to type "5.62" but I want it to read "5.62%", what would I do for that instance? Thanks! |

That's Excel, Mel.

I know that is Excel, but does Word do the same things in tables? At work we
work out of word for certain things and I have to waste time adding manually the dollar sign.

Sorry, Mel. Didn't mean to be "short". No, this isn't possible in Word. What
I usually do is make an additional column in the table and put the $ in it. Perhaps if you can tell us what you're creating, we can help more. Also... whether you're interested in a VBA fix or not. ******************* ~Anne Troy www.OfficeArticles.com www.MyExpertsOnline.com "Mel. Schuster" wrote in message ...

You can embed an Excel sheet to do this. Or, if the cell contents are fields
of any kind (such as form or formula fields) you can use a field switch to apply the formatting. -- Suzanne S.
