Converting Numbers to Text and Numbers

[CJ]

I'm using Word 2003 on XP. Does anyone know of a macro
that will take numbers and convert them to text and
numbers?. For example, $5.00 could be converted to Five
Dollars and No Cents ($5.00) or 180 would be converted to
One Hundred Eighty (180). We are moving from WP to Word
and the WP macro that does this is very nifty and I was
hoping someone had created the same thing in Word.

Thanks for your help.

Thanks for your help Doug. Your function is pretty close
to what I want, but I actually need something that will
take the number "109" in a document and replace that text
with the following text: One Hundred Nine (109) and the
differentiate between simple numbers and currency. I
would like to position the cursor either to the right or
left of the number and then run the macro. I'm pretty
new to VB, so please be gentle. Thanks.

If you select the number and run the following macro it will convert it to
text

Dim strnumber As String
Set myrange = Selection.Range
strnumber = myrange.Text
ActiveDocument.Fields.Add Range:=myrange, Type:=wdFieldEmpty, Text:="=" &
strnumber & "\* cardtext"
ActiveDocument.Fields.Update
