This is not possible in Word (without a formula field) unless you embed an
Excel sheet.

How do I get a cell to automatically convert a number to currency with a
decimal point and comma separators? I do not need a formula in the cell I
would just like to type a number, say 5000, and have it automatically
convert
to 5,000.00.
