Idea: Numbers to Words / Words to Numbers

Hi, there! I feel like I might have mentioned this once, but I can’t find my post in the Forum archive: I am often replacing words for numbers (10 → ten) and vice versa, and a shortcut/toggle has always been on my wish list. I dug this up today while looking for a different MS Word resource, so in case the logic is transferrable, it’s a Word macro (by Allen Wyatt) for at least half of the operation (the numbers to words part). Hope it’s relevant!

Best wishes,
M
