Switch Argument

Description

ALPHABETIC

Formats a numeric result as one or more occurrences of an uppercase alphabetic Latin character. Value 1 results in the letter A, value 2 results in the letter B, and so on up to value 26, which results in the letter Z. For values greater than 26, 26 is repeatedly subtracted from the value until the result is 26 or less. The result value determines which letter to use, and the same letter is repeated for each time 26 was subtracted from the original value. For page 27, the field {PAGE \* ALPHABETIC} results in "AA", as subtracting 26 from 27 results in the value 1, which is represented by the letter A.

alphabetic

Formats a numeric result as one or more occurrences of a lowercase alphabetic Latin character. Value 1 results in the letter a, value 2 results in the letter b, and so on up to value 26, which results in the letter z. For values greater than 26, 26 is repeatedly subtracted from the value until the result is 26 or less. The result value determines which letter to use, and the same letter is repeated for each time 26 was subtracted from the original value. For page 80, the field {PAGE \* alphabetic} results in "bbbb" as subtracting 26 from 80 three times results in the value 2, which is represented by the letter b.

arabic

Formats a numeric result using Arabic cardinal numerals. For page 123, PAGE \* Arabic results in "123".

arabicdash

Formats a numeric result using Arabic cardinal numerals, with a prefix of "- " and a suffix of " -". For page 123, PAGE \* ArabicDash results in "- 123 -".

Number to text transformation is available for the following languages: English, French, German, Italian, Russian, Swedish, Turkish, Greek, Spanish, Portuguese, Ukrainian, Hindi. The language is determined by the culture of the current thread (System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture ).

circlenum

Formats a numeric result using decimal numbering enclosed in a circle, using the enclosed alphanumeric glyph character for numbers in the range 1 - 20 (Unicode symbols 2460-2473). For non-negative numbers outside this range, formats them as with ARABIC. Note that the font used to display a filed should have corresponding glyphs in the specified positions.

dbchar

Formats a numeric result using double-byte Arabic numbering.

dbnum1

Formats a numeric result using ideographic numbers for each digit in decimal representation. The Zero (0) is displayed using the character U+3007 (IDEOGRAPHIC NUMBER ZERO), while other digits are displayed using Chinese numbers from 1 to 9.

dollartext

kanjinum1

Formats a numeric result using Japanese sequential digital ideographs.

lower

All letters are lowercase.

MERGEFORMAT

When the field is updated and you apply formatting to the field result, that formatting is retained the next time the field is updated. Usually this works, but since formatting is dependent on the parts of a field result you apply formatting to, there are situations when this switch is unreliable.

The following picture illustrates how the MERGEFORMAT switch works. The MERGEFIELD is bound to the list of writer names. After the field is updated, it shows the first name in the list. We paint the word Arthur red, and then move to the next data record. Red highlighting is retained.

But if we paint the word Conan red, the highlighting will be lost after we navigate the data source to the next record and update the field.

ordinal

Formats a numeric result using lowercase ordinal Arabic numerals. Ordinal conversion is available for the following languages: English, French, German, Italian, Russian, Swedish, Turkish, Greek, Spanish, Portuguese, Ukrainian. The language is determined by the culture of the current thread ( System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture )

ordtext

Formats a numeric result as lowercase ordinal text. The fractional part is used to round off the whole number part and then discarded. Ordinal conversion is available for the following languages: English, French, German, Italian, Russian, Swedish, Turkish, Greek, Spanish, Portuguese, Ukrainian, Hindi. The language is determined by the culture of the current thread (System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture ).
