Values in Text - Card 2
- Text up to a Hundred
- Use this grid to enter words for each number between one and 99.
- In Languages that do not have genders, use the left-hand column only, as shown in the illustration. In Languages where each number has separate masculine and feminine forms to agree with Currency names of different genders, enter the masculine form in the left-hand column and the feminine form in the right-hand column.
- Hundreds and Tens Conjunction
- Enter here the word that is to appear between the hundreds and the tens in any amount. In English, the word "and" is used (for example, one hundred and twenty).
- Decimals Conjunction
- Enter here the word that is to appear between the Major and Minor Currency amounts. In English, it is not necessary to have such a word, so the field can be left blank (for example five pounds forty pence, or five pounds and forty pence to illustrate where the word would appear, if one were specified).
- Trailing Text
- Enter here any text that is to appear after the amount. For example, some users might require the word "only" to appear after the amount on their cheques.
- Zero
- Enter here the word to be used for zero.
- Print Currency
- Use these options to specify whether the word for the Currency appears before the amount or after it. In the latter case, it will appear before the Minor Currency amount. For example, £5.40 can be written as pounds five forty pence or as five pounds forty pence. The word for the Currency itself ("pounds' in the example) is entered in the Currency register, also in the System module.
- The Minor Currency In
- The Minor Currency is the one hundredth part of the Currency (for example, pence, cents or öre). Use this option to specify whether the amount is to appear in words or figures. Note that the word for the Minor Currency is not entered here but in the Currency register, also in the System module.
- Cut Decimals
- Check this box if you do not want Minor Currency amounts to be printed. For example, if this box is checked, an amount of £5.40 will be printed as five pounds. Unlike the other fields and check boxes described above, this option affects amounts both in words and in figures. It should only be used with Currencies where there are no Minor Currency values e.g. in Byelorussia.
