Hi All,

I have a MergeField AmountPaid that prints out fine on word document.

If I try to convert it to DollarText using Ctrl +F9 { MERGEFIELD AmountPaid \* DollarText }.. This does not work

I have even tried setting another variable via: Ctrl + F9 { SET Amount { MERGEFIELD AmountPaid}}

CTRL + F9 { REF Amount \* DollarText} this way I am getting an error MergeField AmountPaid not found.

I have spent hours trying to figure this out but it doesnt work! Please help me.

Thanks

Selecting your AmountPaid mergefield and pressing Shift-F9 to expose the field code should reveal:
{ MERGEFIELD AmountPaid }

If your AmountPaid mergefield returns a number when you Preview or Finish the merge, selecting it and pressing Shift-F9 to expose the field code, then editing it so it contains:
{ MERGEFIELD AmountPaid \# 0.00 \* DollarText }
should result in it displaying text like 'twenty-seven and 35/100'. The  \# 0.00 switch forces a '0.00' result that the \* DollarText switch can work with even if the field is empty. If you want capitalization, use:
{ MERGEFIELD AmountPaid \# 0.00 \* DollarText \* Caps }
or:
{ MERGEFIELD AmountPaid \# 0.00 \* DollarText \* FirstCap }

There is no need to use SET & REF fields for this.
