How do you format the numbers in a Word 2007 tables cells?

[Bob Arnett]

I can't seem to find where one can set the formatting for table cells. I want
to have the numbers in a column to all have two decimal places even if the
user enters less than that. i.e. If the user enters 22.5, I want the cell to
display 22.50.

Word will not do that without jumping through a lot of hoops. Word is not
like Excel in that respect. If you need that kind of control, options
include creating/maintaining the table in Excel, then pasting a link to it
in Word, or creating an Excel object from scratch in Word.

Thanks for the response. Not exactly what I wanted but facts is facts.
