Using MS 365

I have a table with three blank cells in one column. I want to be able to type in a currency amount in both blank cells (or have it formatted to currency) and then have Word SUM the currency amount in the other blank cell. From my research, there has to be a value in the cells and then you can add the formula =SUM(ABOVE) or just click the AutoSum button.

Is there a way to:
Format all cells to currency.
Type in a formula to SUM the cells once values are added.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Word is not Excel and doesn't have the formatting functionality that Excel has.

In the number entry cells you will need to do the currency formatting yourself unless you are going to use a macro to modify the text after you enter it. Are you open to using macros in this document?

For the field you can add formatting switches to make the result formatted. The field code might look like this
{ =SUM(ABOVE) \# "$#,##0.00;($#,##0.00)" }
