Default how do I get the result of a numeric field to display in alphabet.

alphabetically instead of numbers such as 1,000 (one thousand) where you
would state the field code twice but apply a switch to change the number to
the alphabetical number.

Use the \*Cardtext switch in the field code. For information about its
use, read the "Number formats" section of

Hi Deborah,

If you want the number expressed as words, check out the Cardtext & DollarText field switches.
