How Can I Convert a Number to Text in Microsoft Word 2003?
I am using Quickbooks Point of Sale 7.0 and one of the functions that it has is to create templates with Microsoft Word to write letters to customers, etc using different variables from Quickbooks. For example, in the header of a refund check to a customer that I am making, on the template it displays «CompanyName» and «CompanyAddress». When the letter is written, Quickbooks fills in those variables with the correct information. To get the dollar amount for the check, I am subtracting «AccountLimit» and «AccountBalance» by nesting these two in a formula field, which can be done with the Alt + F9 toggle.
It looks like this:
{ = { MERGEFIELD AccountLimit } - { MERGEFIELD AccountBalance } }
That works fine and it gives me a number (i.e. $23.46).
Now starts my question: How can I convert that number to text format like you write in a check (i.e. twenty three dollars and forty six cents) using Microsoft Word 2003?

Oops this was for Excel. Maybe not so good for Word?

Thanks, that is just what I was looking for.
Too late but here is a macro that will convert a selected numerical value to text with Dollar and Cents in the end. This macro is a modification of the macro found at http://www.discussweb.com/vb-net-programming/2714-how-create-word-macro-converts-currency-numbers-into-words.html
Open MSword
Click file>close (no more open documents)
Click tools>macros>Visual basic editor
On the left hand side tree-view, expand 'normal'>'Microsoft word objects' to see 'ThisDocument'
Double click on 'ThisDocument'
A white (probably blank) window will appear on the
right hand side, where you should paste the following code
Close all the windows. Installation is complete!
Now when you are typing a document,
if want to use the converter,
Select the number which you want to convert.
Press Alt+F8.
Press Enter. (check for 'RSconvert' in 'Macro name' text field)
This will replace the selected number with its
word equivalent
