How do you format the numbers in a Word 2007 tables cells?
I can't seem to find where one can set the formatting for table cells. I want
to have the numbers in a column to all have two decimal places even if the user enters less than that. i.e. If the user enters 22.5, I want the cell to display 22.50. |

Word will not do that without jumping through a lot of hoops. Word is not
like Excel in that respect. If you need that kind of control, options include creating/maintaining the table in Excel, then pasting a link to it in Word, or creating an Excel object from scratch in Word. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Bob Arnett" wrote in message ...
