It depends where the number has come from. There is no way to automatically
format typed numbers as currency on the fly in any Word version. You would
need a field e.g. to turn 1034 into $10.34 you would need a calculation
field { =1034 / 100 \# "$,0.00" }. If you need typed numbers formatted as
currency then it is quicker simply to type them as such.
or you could select the number and use a macro - in this instance
Dim rNum As Range
Set rNum = Selection.Range
If IsNumeric(rNum.Text) = False Then
MsgBox "No number selected", vbInformation, "Error"
Exit Sub
End If
rNum.Fields.Add rNum, wdFieldExpression, rNum.Text & " /100 \# $,0.00",
False

I have searched high and low in the useless Microsoft online help in
2007 for basic formatting functionality that appears to be very well
hidden. Can someone please let me know if they have found any, eg
commas, numbers into currency, etc.
thanks
