Formatting Datasheet Numbers

Summary: Controlling the appearance of numbers in a datasheet. (This tip works with Microsoft Word 6, Word 95, Word 97, Word 2000, Word 2002, and Word 2003.)

The graphs created by Microsoft Graph are based on data contained in a simple spreadsheet called a datasheet. Microsoft Graph displays this data in row-and-column format. You can format the numbers in a datasheet in much the same way as you would in a spreadsheet, like Excel. To format numbers, follow these steps:

  1. Select the cells whose contents you want to format.
  2. Choose Number from the Format menu. Microsoft Graph displays the Format Number dialog box. (Click here to see a related figure.)
  3. Select a number format to apply to the selected cell.
  4. Click on OK.

Tip #708 applies to Microsoft Word versions: 6 | 95 | 97 | 2000 | 2002 | 2003
