Default Format a Word 2003 Table Cell as a dollar amount

Word doesn't attach formatting to table cells. That's strictly an Excel
trick.

If you're using protected form fields, you can put one in a table cell and
specify a currency format for the field, but not for the cell as such.

Or you can embed a section of an Excel worksheet in your Word document and
use its capabilities.

I like using Word tables for many things. However, other than the SUM
function, I have not been able to figure out how to format individual
cells to relect a dollwr amount such as $2,592.88. Can anyone suggest
how to do so? Thank you
