Default Word Table-Automatically show a $ in the money column?

Word doesn't allow you to specify numeric formats for table cell contents.

What you can do is make use of text form fields, whose formats can be
specified, and then enable forms protection. For more on using forms in
Word, see http://word.mvps.org/faqs/customizat...nTheBlanks.htm.

The easiest approach, however, might be to embed an Excel spreadsheet in
your Word document, using the spreadsheet instead of a Word table.

In Word, I have made a table with names of donors, their address, and the
amounts they donated. One column is money amounts...I would like to just
type
in say, 25 and have it come out as $25. How do I get the $ in there
automatically?
