binding money fields from DIP

Hi,
we have a money fields in our document information panel which we like to
bind within the word-document. Doing so using quick parts, the
document-control displays 10.000000000000 instead of the original entry in
the dip which is like 10.00 $.
There seem to be no way to format the quick part in any way within the GUI
of word. Is there any way to bring the quick part in the correct formatting?

best regards,
Heyko

You could insert a docproperty field with a switch

{ DOCPROPERTY fieldname \# ",0.00 $" }

would give you the required layout.

I thought of something this way, but I cannot grap the field (it is a custom
field from a customized sharepoint content type). So when I take the
fieldname from the dip, word tells me, the field is unknown Confused

I guess I'm not the only one with this problem, so hopefully anyone can help
out? I also tried content control editing, but there is no way to get the
currency-field displayed correctly. I like the auto xml-binding much if it
worked for all content types as good as for the standard ones. Hm. Does truly
nobody has any idea?
