hello all
I could use some good advice. I want my word doc to import a field which holds a currency (eg: 25.00). This I can do
but I also need another field based on the first field which converts the field to text
(eg: twenty five dollars)
field A : 25.0
field B "twenty five dollars"

Does anyone know an easy way to do this

You probably won't get exactly what you want, but look in the help
topic on "Format (\*) field switch" and read about the \*DollarText
switch. In your example, you'd give the first field a bookmark name --
say "Amount" -- and then the field code of the second field would be

{ REF Amount \* DollarText }

When the value in the first field is 25.00, the value of the second
field would appear as "twenty-five and 00/100". The word "dollars"
could be static text after the field.
