VB Code to convert Digit to Text in MS Word Document

Copy the code below by creating a new Macro to convert:

To add shortcut for this macro, you shall follow this article that I’ve written in prior.

Sub DigitToText()
    Dim datasagar_Digits As String
    Dim datasagar_NumText As String

    datasagar_NumText = ""

    ' Select Number from Word Document 
    Selection.MoveLeft Unit:=wdWord, Count:=1, Extend:=wdMove
    Selection.MoveRight Unit:=wdWord, Count:=1, Extend:=wdExtend

    ' Store digits in variable named datasagar_Digits
    datasagar_Digits = Trim(Selection.Text)

    If Val(datasagar_Digits) > 999999 Then
        If Val(datasagar_Digits) <= 999999999 Then
            datasagar_NumText = Trim(Int(Str(Val(datasagar_Digits) / 1000000)))
            ' For selection range, create a field containing the digits and the cardtext format flag
            Selection.Fields.Add Range:=Selection.Range, _
              Type:=wdFieldEmpty, Text:="= " + datasagar_NumText + " \* CardText", _
              PreserveFormatting:=True

            ' Select the previously created field and copy it
            Selection.MoveLeft Unit:=wdWord, Count:=1, Extend:=wdExtend
            datasagar_NumText = Selection.Text & " million "
            datasagar_Digits = Right(datasagar_Digits, 6)
        End If
    End If
    If Val(datasagar_Digits) <= 999999 Then
        ' Create a field containing that digits and the cardtext format flag
        Selection.Fields.Add Range:=Selection.Range, _
          Type:=wdFieldEmpty, Text:="= " + datasagar_Digits + " \* CardText", _
          PreserveFormatting:=True

        ' Select the field and copy it
        Selection.MoveLeft Unit:=wdWord, Count:=1, Extend:=wdExtend
        datasagar_Digits = datasagar_NumText & Selection.Text

        ' Replace number with words in the selected area of word document
        Selection.TypeText Text:=datasagar_Digits
        Selection.TypeText Text:=" "
    Else
        MsgBox "Number too large", vbOKOnly
    End If
End Sub
