How do i change south african currency from ZAR into R?

Question

The standard South African currency in pages is ZAR. That is the old fashion way introduced under the previous government. I would like to use the more common R which is used South Africa at the moment. How do I change that? please help.

Hi Bram,
If you are doing this in a table,
Column B is formatted by Format Panel > Cell > Currency > South African Rand (ZAR).
Column C has a Custom Format.
Select the cells in Column C.
Format Panel > Cell > Custom Format.
Name: such as Custom Format R
Type: Number
Type R then drag the Integer token then drag the Decimal token to the Custom Format field.
Click on the disclosure triangle on the Decimal token and choose Show Trailing Zeroes.
Now Save as Template for future use.
Regards,
Ian.
