I need a macro that converts a number to written english.for example: 105 to "one hundred and five".

Here's an example. If you add that code in the macro editor then you can use the function num2words in a sub like:

sub C

     msgbox num2words(789)

end sub

Here's a VBA example (in the grey box) which is easy to adapt to VBScript ... just need to remove the optional statements at the top and the "As String" and "Val" statements.
