Default Formatting a text box to display as currency

I hope I am posting this in the correct location but can anyone tell me how
to format a text box so that it will display as currency. I have tried
FormatConditions but currency it not supported. I have also tried things as
simple as fomatting the linked cell but nothing has worked.
Thanks for your help.

Ed,

I was able to format a linked cell and have a currency format reflected in
the textbox. To do so, format a number in cell A1 as currency. Then, go to
the drawing toolbar and drag a new textbox onto your worksheet. Click once
inside of the textbox - the "handles"should appear around the edges. Next,
go to the formula toolbar and enter "=A1". Hit the Enter key.
