Default Massive headaches creating a form in Word 2007.

Matt,
I'm not sure what you are trying to do, but perhaps this will help. You can
create a table in Word, enter numbers in one column, and have them formatted
in another column. In cell B1, enter, say, 12.62. In cell A1, insert a
formula. (In Word 2007, go to the Table Layout tab, and select Formulas,
over on the right.) The formula is "=PRODUCT(b1,1) \#
"$#,##0.00;($#,##0.00)", which uses a predefined format. Now, the cell
displays $ 12.62. If cell B2 changes, you have to do Ctrl-A (select all),
and F9 (update fields).
Does that help?
Chris
