In this example,

• =1290 is an amount which will be displayed in words,
• \*CardText is a format switch that shows results as cardinal text. The result is formatted in lowercase letters unless you add a format switch to specify a different capitalization.
  Note: This switch can be used with amount:
  • less than 1 000 000 (one million)
  • positive (not negative)
  • maybe fractional, but the result will be rounded (for example, the result of the transfer of 51.17 - 51).

You can use other switches, for example:

• \*Caps capitalizes the first letter of each word.
• \*FirstCap capitalizes the first letter of the first word.
• \*Upper capitalizes all letters.
• \*Lower capitalizes none of the results; all letters are lowercase.
  
• \*Roman displays results as Roman numerals:
