How to use the SpellNumber sample function

To use the sample functions to change a number to written text, use one of the methods
demonstrated in the following examples:

Method 1: Direct Entry

You can change 32.50 into "Thirty Two Pesos and Fifty Centavos" by entering the following
formula into a cell:
=SpellNumber(32.50)

Method 2: Cell reference

You can refer to other cells in the workbook. For example, enter the number 32.50 into cell A1,
and type the following formula into another cell:
=SpellNumber(A1)

Method 3: Paste Function or Insert Function

To enter a custom function into a worksheet, you can use Paste Function in Excel 2000, or you
can use Insert Function in Excel 2002 and in Excel 2003.
