If you want an addin that provides a worksheet function that does this,
download Laurent Longre's free morefunc.xll addin found here:
http://longre.free.fr/english/
It is downloaded in a zip file which also contains an informative file in
'hlp' format that describes the 33 or so very useful functions included, one
of which does the number to words conversion you describe (supports various
languages and currencies).
See also Laurent's latest version that is multi-lingual.

This file might be a help:

It's in the "Accountants" section on page:
http://www.bygsoftware.com/examples/examples.htm
It contains two methods to convert numbers to words and two check writing
routines.
The code is open and commented.

I want to translate a numeric value into a spelled value. For example
$123.55 needs to spelled out as "One hundred and twenty-three Dollars and
fifty-five cents"
This is simple to do in SQL within an Oracle RDBMS but I cannot find an
equivalent anywhere within Microsoft Office.
