Format table colums cells to show $XX,XXX format
I am going crazy! I could have sworn I used to be able to do this but now I
can't figure it out! I want two columns in my Word table to be formatted so that all numbers show as whole dollars (with , for thousands). I want this format to hold in these columns, even if I add a row to the table. |

You're perhaps confusing Word with Excel. There is no way to do this in Word
except with fields (and the appropriate switches), and fields are not replicated when you add a row. -- Suzanne S.

Format table colums cells to show $XX,XXX format
Ok, you say I can't do it except for "fields". How do I do it with fields?
Can I use the paint brush to copy the fields when I add a row? "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: You're perhaps confusing Word with Excel.

Well, the field has to be doing something. Since it appears you don't know
what a field is, it is unfortunate that the most basic Help topic Word offers is "Insert a field," which assumes you already know what one is and why you want it. But that would be a place to start. In the Field dialog you can scan the available fields to see if there is one that would work for you, but aside from formula (=) fields, there aren't many that would be used for money amounts in tables. And no, you can Copy/Paste fields, but they are content, not formatting, so the Format Painter wouldn't work. -- Suzanne S.
