I am trying to put 0.375 as the default number in a text
form field.  I have set the Type to Number, then put
0.375 in the Default number box.  When I click OK, the 5
in the 0.375 does not stick.  It only want to hold 0.37.  
Is there a limitation on the decimals?

Michele,

Look at Control Panel>Regional and Language Options>Regional
Options>Customize.  Try changing the number of digits after decimal to 3 or
higher.

You should be able to enter 0.000 in the number format field. It certainly
works on the current version of Word.
