I have a merge document. Field one is amounts in numerals. Field two is the
same amount, but it is written out in words. Is there any way to
automatically fill in field2 based on field one?

Thanks.

Add a \* cardtext switch to the field.

I tried that and it rounds up to the nearest whole number. What I forgot to
mention is that my amounts are in dollars and cents. So I would like to
insert $32.50 into field one and have field 2 automatically say Thirty-Two
Dollars and 50 cents.

Thank you.
