You should be able to do that with a simple field formula, encoded as:
{QUOTE {=B2-B4 \# "$,0.00"}}

Note: The field brace pairs (i.e. '{ }') for the above example are all created in the document itself, via Ctrl-F9 (Cmd-F9 on a Mac); you can't simply type them or copy & paste them from this message. Nor is it practical to add them via any of the standard Word dialogues.

That said, when you're using a third-party product, what you can achieve is often limited by that product's capabilities.
