SUMMARY
This article describes how to use the DollarText field switch in a
Microsoft Word field code to spell out a dollar value alphabetically. By
converting numeric data to cardinal text, this field switch is useful for
creating a bank-style check.
For example, if you use the DollarText field switch, Word converts the
number 5,245.25 to Five Thousand Two hundred Forty Five AND 25/100.
NOTE: There is a limit of six-digits that can be represented by the
DollarText switch--Word can spell out the dollar amount up to $999,999.99.
