Word should let me convert numerals under 10 into words, and word.
Hello,
I've suggested an imprvement to Microsoft in this discussion group regarding Microsoft Word. I suggested that Word should allow users to convert numerals under 10 into words, and words over 9 into numbers, as the APA style suggests. If you like this idea, tell Microsoft at http://www.microsoft.com/office/comm...ype=suggestion. Thanks zslutzky |

Trouble is, in many style standards (and bear in mind, 99% of the world
couldn't care less about APA) there so many exceptions to when this is good practice, and so much variety in the form of words and numbers that you might want to use. I would HATE to have Word trying to second guess me on that one. "zslutzky" wrote in message ... Hello, I've suggested an imprvement to Microsoft in this discussion group regarding Microsoft Word.

Thank you for your reply. I would not like to have Word guess either, so my
suggestion intends that it would be a selection option under the Format menu (like Change Case).

You could probably use autocorrect for the first part of this, if you can't
remember to type them in correctly in the first place, eg #1 - one #2 - two etc. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org zslutzky wrote: Thank you for your reply.

Thanks,
Next time I'll try that. Although it would be nice to have a feature you could instantly switch on or off to convert the numerals.

I was searching for some such trick. That is, convert numerals to words.
Microsoft has given code for a function SpellNumber that can be used directly in Excel VBA module. But it needs to be modified for using in Word. In this connection I want to know how I can locate numerals in a selection and then replace them with words. A selection may have one numeral or several numerals. My goal is to write code to convert all the numerals into words. I have written code to do this for the whole document, but I am running into problem when trying to use it for selected text. The problem is, when you use the Find method, the Selection.Range changes. So my question is: is there a way to preserve range of the Selected text during multiple iterations of code? The tedious way of doing that is by iterating through each word in the selected text until the last word of the selection is reached. Is that the only way? I am posting for the first time, and I hope I have posted in the right forum, right thread, and that my query is clear. thanks. |
