Dennis, It looks to me that you're asking how to convert a number to the words that are spoken to say that number. You've asked how to "convert a number ... to text". People familiar with programming/macros and data types will read that and think of something different than creating the words to speak the number. I found a few solutions, links below, from different sources that take a number and write out the words to speak the number. None however are solutions written for Calc. The links do provide solutions how to convert a number to words with other programs. The logic will be the same in Calc but the syntax will need to be converted to Calc. Perhaps someone familiar with programming can assist you to create a Calc function that does what you wish. http://delphi.about.com/od/objectpascalide/a/curr2words.htm http://support.microsoft.com/kb/213360 http://www.dbase.com/codelib/Plus/dUFLPPlus_AA.zip this last is a small code library written for a product called dBASE. In this library are routines called Cash2Check, Num2Words, and Thou2Words. The logic of the three routines is used together to convert a number to the words to say the number. I can attest to the 1995 (approximately) version of this function working correctly. -Alan -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscribe@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
