Hi Cindy,
The field to which I refer is a calculation field but I would be interested
in knowing the syntax for regular text and number fields as well.

Thank you,

Hi ?B?RWQgSGFsbCA2MQ==?=,

What is the syntax for Number format in the Text Form Field Options?

I am familiar with the syntax for custom formats in Excel 2002/2003 (i.e.:
positive format; negative format; zero format; text format).

The number format in the Text Form Field Options does not seem to follow
that same general syntax.

It does follow a similar syntax, but not all options are allowed in that
field in later versions of Word. Is this a data-entry field, or a calculation
field?
