Thank you for the reply. Please make it easy and tell me how that is done.
Searching "help" provided no clear instructions to follow and my results were

If you want it to be as easy as in WordPerfect, you embed an Excel sheet.
Otherwise, you have to use fields and formatting switches.

I can't believe it isn't as easy as it is in WordPerfect (click on the
table
tab, then numeric format and there you are). How would you switch between
formats; currency, accounting, commas, date/time, etc.?
