===Notes===
* The '''Number Format''' setting applies in [[view mode]], or when the values are displayed in a [[Web Page View]], [[Report]], [[MS Word Merge]], [[List View]], etc.
* Currency formatting will be applied when the record is in [[edit mode]] only if the setting "Show Currency Apply Format in Edit Mode" is selected in the custom field settings.
* Any currency defined by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_4217 ISO 4217] can be shown by using the appropriate three-letter currency code. For example, if ''Currency-JPY'' (for Japanese Yen) is entered into the Number Format setting, the entered value of '''12''' will be displayed as '''¥12'''.
