How do you round numbers in Microsoft Word? ›

Round a number up by using the ROUNDUP function. It works just the same as ROUND, except that it always rounds a number up. For example, if you want to round 3.2 up to zero decimal places: =ROUNDUP(3.2,0) which equals 4.

Symbol such as currency (¥), music (♫), or check marks (✔) Place your cursor in the file at the spot where you want to insert the symbol. Go to Insert > Symbol. Pick a symbol, or choose More Symbols.

Microsoft Word is a commercial product. You can buy Office 2021, which is a perpetual-license version (you pay for it only once) or pay for a monthly or annual subscription to Microsoft 365. If you don't want to pay, you can use Word Online, which has a subset of the features found in desktop Word.

You can write the amount in words by writing the number of whole dollars first, followed by the word 'dollars'. Instead of the decimal point, you will write the word 'and,' followed by the number of cents, and the word 'cents'. If you want, you can write out the numbers using words too.

When you work with numbers, setting a decimal tab makes numbers, such as amounts of currency, align correctly in a column. If you don't see the ruler at the top of your document, go to View > Ruler. Select on the ruler where you want the decimal point to be. You can click and drag this later to move it.

Can I still use Office 365 without a subscription? You can use several Microsoft Office apps, including Word, without a paid subscription. However, you'll be limited to online-only versions of these apps instead of having the ability to work offline as well.

Google Docs offers all the same basic word processing functions that Word does, but does not offer as many templates, outlines and enhancements that are helpful for complex writing and research assignments.

Microsoft Word Can be Free, but Know the Limitations

When submitting to agents or editors, always include a rough word count on the cover page of your manuscript (and by “rough word count,” I mean round up to the nearest thousand).
