I have a table set up on a document in Word 2003. Is there a way to format
each cell that when I type a 1 it automatically turns into a $1.00. Just like
when you format cells in excel that if you format it to a accounting and type
a number in that cell it automatically turns it to $*.**

Word doesn't support setting a numeric format for table cells directly, but you can do it if you insert text form fields (with a numeric format specified in the Text Form Field Options dialog box) into the cells and then enable forms protection.

Note that if you don't want a protected document, it will be easier to embed an Excel spreadsheet.
