how to tell Word to display a number in a cell

[rllewis]

How do I tell Word to display a number in a particular cell (the result
of a calculation) to two decimal places?

If you are doing the calculation using fields, use a "numeric format
switch", e.g. instead of

{ =something }

use

{ =something \#"0.00" }

Otherwise, you would either have to fix the numbers manually, use a macro to
do it, or somehow get them inside fields (but I don't really see why you do
it that last way).
