I would like to be able to use a letter template to print checks to pay my foreign associates and draftsman. I need to print the check amount in two places on each check: once numerically (ex. $1,234.56) and a second time in words ("One Thousand Two Hundred Thirty-Four and 00/100"). The numeric part is easy.

Please consider adding number formatting in words, for example something like:

{Task.ExpensesCap(ToWords)}

which follows the text formatting model (ToUpper, ToLower, etc.)

There seem to be may number-to-word converters available on the Internet. (Search for "check amount in words") Therefore, finding open-source code to do the conversion should be relatively easy.

Would anyone else find this useful?

Thanks.

Currently, most fields are limited to one level of hierarchy, ex. {Task.FeesCap}. Some fields have two levels of hierarchy, ex. {Task.Matter.Client}. However not all two-level fields work. For example, in a Task, {Matter.ForeignAssociate} and {Task.Matter} return values, but none of the following fields returns a value: {Matter.ForeignAssociate.Company}, {Matter.ForeignAssociate.Street}, {Task.Matter.ForeignAssociate},
{Task.Matter.ForeignAssociate.Company}.

In order to create really powerful e-mail and form letter templates, we need access to multi-level fields (and the ability to generate e-mail messages and form letters from each page).

For example, I have a Task to "Pay foreign associate," although it could be more generally "Pay vendor," such as draftsman. I'd like to be able to print the vendor's check from the Task (using a Form Letter template), and print a payment cover letter from the Task (using another Form Letter template), and send the vendor a payment advice via e-mail (using an e-mail template), all from the Task. However, this would require multi-level fields, such as those mentioned above.
