I can't use \* DollarText or \* CardText with numbers greater than 999999. Anyone got any ideas for getting around this other than manipulating the data source?

Don't know of any workarrounds to create the numbers fully written down if greater then that.

But I do wonder...why do you want those numbers written down complete?
If the number is so big I think it would be to hard to read it?

I mean who would prefer: nine hundred ninety-nine thousand nine hundred ninety-niny....over: 999999?

But I'll surf arround abit if I can find a sollution. :whistle:

Well it was actually not that hard to find a sollution.

Word MVP Cindy Meister has one over here:

Go to the section: *Display millions when using CardText or DollarText number formats :whistle:
