Hi Alfredo,
AFAIK, about the nearest you can get with cell formatting alone is 2 8/16lbs, which you can achieve with a custom number format like: # ?/16lb\s If a formula in an adjoining cell would do, you could use something like: =INT(A1)&"lbs "&MOD(A1,1)*16&"oz." Notice I've used 'oz.' rather than 'ounce' for 1 oz., or 'ounces' for 2 or more oz. - easier to code. Cheers -- macropod [MVP - Microsoft Word] "monarcabak" wrote in message ...
