Pivot Table Field Setting Problems

[Gregor]

Whenever I drag and drop a data field to a Pivot Table I
adjust the formatting to my preference, however this
setting gets lost everytime I remove the field. This means
everytime I re-use the field I have to reset the
formatting.

Is there anyway to preserve the field format settings? I
have tried checking the "Preserve Formatting" field
in "Table Options", but this does not help.
