Chapter 9 Working with Table Cells 2 11

After adding a Decimals element to a custom number format, you select it, click its

disclosure triangle, and then use the items in its pop-up menu to customize the

element’s display attributes.

See “Creating a Custom Number Format” on page 207 to learn how to add a

Decimals element.

Here are ways to use the Decimal element’s pop-up menu:

To display decimal digits as numbers, choose Decimals. m

To represent unused decimal digits when their number is fewer than a particular

number of digits, choose Show Trailing Zeros or “Use Spaces for Trailing Zeros.” Then

increase or decrease the number of zeros or hyphens displayed in the format eld;

choose Add Digit, Remove Digit, or “Number of Digits” from the pop-up menu, or use

the Up Arrow or Down Arrow key to set the number of digits.

If more decimal digits than the number you specify are entered into a table cell,

they’re rounded to match your number of digits.

To display decimal digits as a fraction, choose Fractions. m

To specify a fractional unit (for example, Quarters), click the element’s disclosure

triangle again and choose an item from the pop-up menu.

To avoid displaying decimal digits when they’re entered into a table cell, don’t add the m

Decimals element to the format eld.

Displayed values are rounded to the nearest integer when decimal values are entered

into a cell.
