Format Currency Dialog Box

To accommodate companies located or doing business in countries other than the United States, GovWin Capture Management provides default currency formats for reports, checks, and other GovWin Capture Management output based on your settings in Regional and Language Options in Microsoft Windows. In certain cases, GovWin Capture Management provides the Format Currency dialog box so you can modify those default currency formats to meet special requirements.

In Reporting, you can modify the default currency formats for individual reports and for individual report columns. The Layout tab on the Options dialog box displays the default currency format for the report. That format, in turn, becomes the default format for each currency field on the report. You can modify the default format on the Layout tab, and you can modify the format for individual columns on the Columns tab. In either case, you change the settings on the Format Currency dialog box.

To review or change your settings for Windows, display the Windows Control Panel and double-click Regional and Language Options.
