For a protected form, you need a form field to enter the numeric amount, and
a Ref field to display the written-out version. When the user types a number
in the form field and tabs to the next field, the Ref field will display the
written-out equivalent. You don't type in the Ref field, only in the form
field.

For example, assume the numeric form field is named "Amount" and it has
"Calculate on exit" checked (both of these are in the form field's
Properties dialog). Then the Ref field should look like this:

{ Ref Amount \*Dollartext \*Caps } Dollars

where the braces are created by pressing Ctrl+F9 (or you could create the
field code in the Insert Fields dialog).

On a form field?

The \* DollarText formatting switch (with \* Caps) will give you "One
Hundred and 25/100." You will have to add "Dollars," which should
come at the end (25 cents = 25/100 dollars).

Is there a formula or some method to display a dollar amount that
is entered in a form field as if it were being written on a bank
check. For example:

I enter 100.25

and it would display One Hundred Dollars and 25/100.
