That can only be done via field codes in Word. A simple example would be
this: { = 35 \# "000.00" } which would display as "035.00" in your document
(assuming that your system is using the period as a decimal sign). You can
read more about the formula (=) field in Word Help.

It can also be done with a macro in which you can set your required formats
e.g.

Sub FormatNumberAsText()
Dim sNum As String
sNum = Selection
If sNum = "" Then Exit Sub
sNum = format(sNum, "$###,###,###,###.##")
Selection.TypeText sNum
End Sub

or as a field

Sub FormatNumberAsField()
Dim sNum As String
sNum = Selection
If sNum = "" Then Exit Sub
sNum = sNum & " \# $,0.00"
With Selection.Fields
.Add Range:=Selection.Range, Type:=wdFieldExpression, _
Text:=sNum, _
PreserveFormatting:=False
.Update
End With
ActiveWindow.View.ShowFieldCodes = False
End Sub


Select 35 and run the macro and either will enter $35.00
