Can I specify a formula and a format string?

[Jennifer]

On a rectangle shape, I inserted a field to show the area: Insert | Field. The custom formula is "=Width*Height".

It displays with 4 decimal places of accuracy. Can I get it to round to 0 or 1?

I feel really silly. The answer is easy and should have been obvious. All I had to do it select the proper format from the Fomat list. Duh.
