TITLE:    Entering A Currency Symbol ($) in Tables (Enhancement)
PRODUCT:       WordPerfect 6.0 for DOS


Enhancement
You can format individual cells or columns with a currency symbol
such as a dollar sign ($).


Concept
Earlier versions of WordPerfect required you to manually type a
dollar sign whenever you wanted to use it in a table cell.  With
WordPerfect 6.0 for DOS, you can place currency symbols in
individual cells or columns without affecting the other columns
in your table.  Even if the text in that cell is deleted, the
cell will remain formatted; the currency symbol will appear again
when new text is entered in that cell.


How Do I Use It?
For this example, create a small table, then format the left
column with a currency symbol.

1    Choose Tables from the Layout menu or choose Columns/Tables
     (Alt+F7), then choose Tables (2).

2    Choose Create (1).

3    Type 3 for the number of columns, then press Enter.  Type 3
     for the number of rows, then press Enter.

4    Choose OK to go to the Table Edit screen.

You can format cells and/or columns with currency symbols.  In
this example, we will format an entire column.  

5    Choose Column (2).  (To format a cell, choose Cell (1).)

The Column Format window will appear.

6    Choose Number Type (6).

The Number Type Formats window will appear.

7    Choose Currency (5), then choose Options (O).

8    Choose Align Currency Symbol (8).  This selection will align
     all currency symbols in your table.

9    Choose OK twice to return to the Table Edit menu.

10   Press Exit (F7) to return to your document.

Now, enter data into your table so you can see how the currency
symbol works.

11   Move your cursor to cell A1 and type some numbers.

12   Press Tab or Arrow to move to the next cell.

Notice that the dollar sign appears in the first cell.

If you work with foreign currencies, you can choose a foreign
currency symbol instead of a dollar sign.

1    Follow steps 1 through 8 above.

2    Choose Options (O), then choose International Currencies
     (9).

3    Highlight the currency you want to use, then choose Select
     (1).

4    Choose OK twice to return to the Table Edit menu.

5    Press Exit (F7) to return to the document editing screen.
