Default Formatting for Currency

Sorry - In a spreadsheet the formatting is a property of the *cell* to which
you apply it. Not so in a word processing document. Even though the
'rectangles' in a Table are referred to as 'cells' they really aren't the
same thing.

Dear Community,
If you are using Tabs to set up tab-align in a document, you still have to
put a currency symbol before the data. Is there a way to format this column
so it would have a currency formatting.
I tried to do this using a table instead of tabs but I still could not find
a way to format a column in a table so that the dollar signs show without
having to type them.
I am looking for something similar to Excel, where you could select
formatting, currency.

Thanks
