Default How format numbers resulting from 'math' formulas in WORD tabl

Hi mkraft,

There are so many possible formatting options, any attempt to reproduce them via a menu would be a monster - and would likely not
address everyones' needs. At some stage, users neede to get used to the idea of going beyond the menus and explore Word's Help
file - which tells you how to go about formatting field results which, I might add, is something very few Word users ever need to
do.

I agree, though, that learning how to use the formatting switches is better

than simply taking whatever you're given without bothering to understand it.

That's not really the point. This is word processing and a word processing
program should have certain features available in menus or submenus because
they are standard features of such programs. The user should not have to
construct formulas to do such simple and basic operations.
