Here is a step-by-step technical guide to converting numbers to text in Microsoft Word:
- Open a new or existing document in Microsoft Word and type the number you want to convert into text.
- Highlight the number by clicking and dragging your cursor over it.
- Press the <ctrl> + F9 keys together to create a field code. This will add {} to the selected numbers.
- Within the field code, type an equals sign followed by the number you want to convert, and then type “\*CARDTEXT” at the end of the number. Do not include the quotes. For example, if you want to convert the number “123456”, your field code should look like this: {=123456\*CARDTEXT}
- Right-click on the field code and select “Update Field” from the drop-down menu. Alternatively, you can press the F9 key to update the field code.
- The number will now be converted into text and displayed in the document.
Output:
one hundred twenty-three thousand four hundred fifty-six
