There are no add-ins required. You have the syntax error because you made a
mistake copying the formulae - easy to do, but unfortunately fields cannot
be simply copied and pasted. The error message points to an erroneous
bracket. Each pair of curly brackets {} is created with CTRL+F9. There are
round brackets in the calculated fields. The spacing is important also.
There is also a missing quote (though it will not stop the field working)
{ IF { z } 0 "{ z \*Cardtext \*Caps }" pence

At the prompt enter 102.53 or whatever.

is taking the 102.53 as text not numbers? could this be the case if
so is there a way around this i want the mail merge to promt me to
fill in a number?

(watch the spaces and don't use smart quotes) should work. Don't
forget each pair of brackets {} is placed with CTRL+F9
If the bookmark Payment contains only a number ie 102.53 and not
£102.53 then
{ Set x {Payment}}{ Set y { =INT({ x }) } }{ Set z { =({ x } - { y
}) * 100 } }{ IF { y } 0 "{ y \*Cardtext \*Caps } Pound" }{ IF {
y } 1 "s" }{ IF{ y } 0 "{ IF { z } 0 " and " " " }" }{ IF {
z } 0 "{ z \*Cardtext \*Caps } pence }

Sorry could you help me further. I set the word document with a
bookmark named "Payment" it set up to ask me for an amount, for
eample £102.53, I then tried to use your previous link to convert
into words but I couldn't get it to work
Are the x,y,z letters default or is this something i need to set
up in another field??
£ 102.53
{SET x 102.53}{SET y { =INT({x})}}{SET z {
=({x}-{y})*100}}{IF{y}0"{y\*Cardtext} Pound"}{IF{y}1

Two queries
1) I need to create a furture date in word that is linked to a
merge field.
E.g the merge field i have creates a date, say, 28 February
2009 i then want to create a future date that is 9 months in
the future but the last day of that month i.e 30 November 2009.
I also want to create a future date which is 9 months and one
day, is this possible to do using fields?
2) i need to convert number in to text using merge formating i.e
£105.25 to One Hundred and Five Pounds and Twenty Five Pence
