Default How do you change numbers (123) to text (one hundred and twent

I couldn't follow your response. Are you turning numbers in the text
into fields in order to convert them? It seems like it would just be
simpler to type the number words!

I mentioned a few weeks ago that someone (in Germany) wrote me a macro
for converting figures to English text that worked very well -- and
then when I tried to install another macro, all the macros ceased
functioning. One of these days I'll try reinstalling it, following
your how-to-use-macros instructions.

Thanks for your help Graham. *I don't know if I'm just an idiot but
once I've done the ctrl f9, typed in the formula.... do I just hit
enter and then it should appear in text? *If so, it's not working....
I'm thinking I'm missing a step.

Try { =123 \*cardtext }
with CTRL+F9 for the brackets

I wasn't able to find what I'm looking for - I should elaborate and
say that the number is not entered as a field reference. *It is
strictly in the text - the formula possibly included CTRL F9 (could
that be?)..... It was so easy.... arghhhhhh! *Any help would be
appreciated.

I came across this information about a month ago but did not

easy... something like {/amount...} I really can't remember, but
you just entered this in your text and it converted accurately the
number...- Hide quoted text -
