Summer:

Thank you for your response.

I could see where using *search and replace* would be the quickest approach
if all of the numbers were the same. I.e., change all instances of the
number 10 to *ten*. Unless there's something you may not yet have told me -
like perhaps a method using wild cards, field codes, switches or something
along those lines.

I was actually hoping for a process that might be a bit more automatic
through the use of a macro, whereby the coding actually recognized a
selection as a textual number or vice versa and responded accordingly.

The possibility exists that I may be expecting too much in this regard.
However, I'll wait to see if any of the other resident gurus *weigh in* on
this situation.

Thanks for taking the time to respond.

Word 2003.

I am working on a 500 page document and a working policy has been put into
place whereby all numbers between 1 and 10 should be written out as text
and
all textual numbers greater than 10 should appear as numbers.

For example, the number 5 should be written as *five* and the textual word
twelve should appear as 12.

Additionally, any numbers that appears between parenthases should be
removed
completely.

For example, in an instance that appears as *twelve (12)* the result
should
be merely the number 12.

Would it be possible to accomplish this conversion via a macro; or even
two
separate macros?

Hopefully, I've explained the situation in a way that makes sense. It
sure
would be a big help and save me quite a bit of time and tedium.

As always, thanks very much in advance.
