Including Amounts in Words in Cheques
When printing cheques in some countries, the amount in words is broken down so that the word for each digit is printed separately, sometimes in its own box. An example is shown in the illustration below:

Separate Amount in Text fields have been included in the Form, allowing words for each digit to be printed separately. These are the fields available:
- Amount in Text, Cents

- Amount in Text, Units
- The first figure before the decimal point is printed in words (the units).
- Amount in Text, Tens
- The second figure before the decimal point is printed in words (the tens).

- Amount in Text, Thousands
