How do I turn dollar amounts into words?
If I type in, $256.00, I want it to show: Two Hundred Fifty-six and No/100
Dollars ($256.00). How can I do this? |

If the number is a field, you can use the \*DollarText switch. See the Help

a field? i don't know what that is, but this is what i am doing: just typing
along regular text in a document and the dictation says, "$256.00, but spell it out". i had a really great macro in word perfect that would change it, but i can't seem to find anything like that in word.

I think I got this from Doug Robbins a while back. You have to select the
text then run the macro: Option Explicit Sub ConvertCurrencyToWords() Dim MyNumber As Range Set MyNumber = Selection.Range MyNumber.Text = ConvertCurrencyToEnglish(ByVal MyNumber) End Sub Function ConvertCurrencyToEnglish(ByVal MyNumber) Dim Temp Dim Dollars, Cents Dim DecimalPlace, Count ReDim Place(9) As String Place(2) = " Thousand " Place(3) = " Million " Place(4) = " Billion " Place(5) = " Trillion " 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 Case "" Cents = " And No Cents" Case "One" Cents = " And One Cent" Case Else Cents = " And " & Cents & " Cents" End Select ConvertCurrencyToEnglish = Dollars & Cents End Function Private Function ConvertHundreds(ByVal MyNumber) Dim Result As String If Val(MyNumber) = 0 Then Exit Function 'append leading zeros to number MyNumber = Right("000" & MyNumber, 3) 'do we have hundreds place digit to convert? If Left(MyNumber, 1) "0" Then Result = ConvertDigit(Left(MyNumber, 1)) & " Hundred " End If 'do we have tens place digit to convert? If Mid(MyNumber, 2, 1) "0" Then Result = Result & ConvertTens(Mid(MyNumber, 2)) Else 'if not, then convert the ones place digit Result = Result & ConvertDigit(Mid(MyNumber, 3)) End If ConvertHundreds = Trim(Result) End Function Private Function ConvertTens(ByVal MyTens) Dim Result As String 'is value between 10 and 19?
