Basically, what you have to do is re-invent the wheel.<br />
<br />
The reason that the number conversion puts the dollar sign in front of the money is that Eclipse tech built a macro to put the dollar sign in front.<br />
<br />
So basically, if you don't want to turn on number conversion, you have to build a macro that says put dollar sign at the front of this string of numbers I just wrote and convert the string of numbers into a monetary amount. I'm sure there is a way to do this. The macro for the money…

I'm sure there is a way to do this. The macro for the money conversion is already there. You just have to make a key stroke for it.<br />
<br />
I will look into it if I have time or you can always call up tech support and have them walk you through it.<br />

Getting new CR software is a big, big deal. Changing some of your writing is IMO inevitable when you make such a large transition. That's why when I was software shopping, I was thinking in the longest possible terms. I don't expect to buy CR software again in my life -- thank Goddess!

tha's right. It's all or nothing. I have the same problem. I wasn't using the number conversion and write my numbers that way I want them, but was having some issues with other things. ASI suggested I turn on my number conversion. It helped with a couple issues but now screws up my dollar sign if I don't get it in first and write dollars after - such as 10,388 dollars comes out as 10,$388. So I guess there's trade-offs for everything it seems. Don't know what to tell you but just write the $…

What Brenda said. If you don't want to use number conversion, you have to change your writing so that the dollar sign keystroke comes before the numbers.

Marla, it's all or nothing on number conversion. Without number conversion on, you have to write the numbers the way you want them to look in the order you want them to appear, including any signs. So:<br />
<br />
DOLLARSIGNSTROKE<br />

I think the answer to this one is to have a stroke for your dollar sign and then don't check the number conversion setting.

Okay, but I don't want Eclipse to convert any numbers for me. I write them how I want them to look. Is there a way to turn off all of the settings except the "give me a dollar sign" setting?<br />
<br />
Thanks for all the help, guys.

You have to have your numbers conversion turned on for the system to put in the dollar sign at the front if you write it at the end. And you need to define the DZ as the word dollars. The metadictionary is where the word dollars gets converted to a $, but only if you have your numbers conversion on.

ohhh . . . I put the dollar sign at the beginning of the numbers as I write. I don't know that you can kick it back unless you use number conversion. I've never found a way of doing it anyway.
