formatting cell for currency in word table

W

WyteRabit

Why isn't it possible to specify a format for a cell when you create a table
in Word. i.e. in Excel, a cell can be formatted to automatically recognize
the data as currency and place the appropriate character ($) in front of the
number. In Word, if you create a table, you cannot format the contents of
the cell in the same way. It seems you have to insert an Excel spreadsheet
in order for the feature to be available.

If Word could do everything Excel can do, there would be no need for Excel.
