Add or remove a currency symbol in a text box or expression box (2024)

InfoPath 2010 InfoPath 2013 More...Less

In Microsoft Office InfoPath, you can add data formatting to text box, expression box, and date picker controls on your form template to specify how dates, times, and numbers are displayed when users enter them into forms that are based on your form template.

You can add currency symbols only for text box controls that have a decimal or whole number data type, or for expression box controls that are formatted as a decimal or whole number. Adding or removing a currency symbol affects only the displayed value, not the value that is saved in the data source.

  1. Double-click the text box control or expression box control whose data you want to format.

  2. In the Control Properties dialog box, do one of the following:

    • If you are using a text box control, click the Data tab.

    • If you are using an expression box control, click the General tab.

  3. Do one of the following:

    • For a text box, ensure that the Data type list displays the appropriate data type, and then click Format.

    • For an expression box, ensure that the Format as list displays the appropriate data type, and then click Format.

  4. In the Data Type Format dialog box, do one of the following:

    • To add a currency symbol, click Currency, and then in the Currency list, select the type of currency that you want to display.

    • To remove a currency symbol, click Number.
