Default Formatting table cells

I wrote here for something similar awhile ago and the best I could come up
with in Word was a separate column just wide enough for the $ sign (no border
on right), and a right tab set in the next column to align amounts.

Unfortunately, no. Word provides a method of automatic formatting only for
fields. Is this something for which you could embed an Excel sheet?

In Word 2003 is there any way to format table cells to have, for example,
the $ symbol and a comma indicating thousands?

If you use a formula, you are given the option for several number formats,
including one for currency. Is there any way to format a column of
manually-entered cells with the same format?
