Macro to convert number to dollars and cents

Dim Amount as String
Amount = Selection.Text
Dollars = Int(Val(Amount))
cents = Int((Val(Amount) - Dollars) * 100)
Selection.Delete
Selection.Fields.Add Range:=Selection.Range, Type:=wdFieldEmpty, _
PreserveFormatting:=False
Selection.TypeText Text:="=" & Dollars & " \* CardText \* Caps"
Selection.MoveRight Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=2
Selection.TypeText Text:=" Dollars and "
Selection.Fields.Add Range:=Selection.Range, Type:=wdFieldEmpty, _
PreserveFormatting:=False
Selection.TypeText Text:="=" & cents & " \* CardText \* Caps"

Or a more capable alternative:

Dim Temp
Dim Dollars, Cents
Dim DecimalPlace, Count


ReDim Place(9) As String

MyNumber = Trim(Str(MyNumber))

DecimalPlace = InStr(MyNumber, ".")
If DecimalPlace 0 Then
Temp = Left(Mid(MyNumber, DecimalPlace + 1) & "00", 2)
Cents = ConvertTens(Temp)
MyNumber = Trim(Left(MyNumber, DecimalPlace - 1))
End If
Count = 1
Do While MyNumber ""
'convert last 3 digits to English Dollars
Temp = ConvertHundreds(Right(MyNumber, 3))
If Temp "" Then Dollars = Temp & Place(Count) & Dollars
If Len(MyNumber) 3 Then
'remove last 3 comverted digits
MyNumber = Left(MyNumber, Len(MyNumber) - 3)
Else
MyNumber = ""
End If
Count = Count + 1
Loop

'clean up dollars
Select Case Dollars
Case ""
Dollars = "NoDollars"
Case "One"
Dollars = "One Dollar"
Case Else
Dollars = Dollars & " Dollars"
End Select

'clean up cents
Select Case Cents

'if not, then convert the ones place digit

If the amount is a field, you can use the \* DollarText switch.

Press Ctrl+F9 to insert a field. Type this text between the braces if you
want to convert 5000 to text:

=5000 \* cardtext

Press F9 to update the field. You can press Shift+F9 to toggle field codes.

Type this if you want the first letter of each word to be capitalized:

=5000 \* cardtext \* caps

Type this if you want uppercase letters:

=5000 \* cardtext \* upper

You can also try

=5000 \* dollartext

or

=5000 \* ordtext

....and once you have the result as a field, you can convert it to regular
text by selecting the field and pressing Ctrl+Shift+F9.
