Hi, is there a way to remove a single word of the data displayed?

For example: I have a check amount of 1,039.71

It will be : ONE THOUSAND AND THIRTY NINE AND SEVENTY ONE ONLY on the check

I want it to be displayed as: ONE THOUSAND THIRTY NINE AND 71/100 ONLY

Is it possible to remove the "AND" word on the amount but not the last one where the cents is shown?

I'm not sure, if you are processing on the .Net side, I would look for all the occurrance after the last one use a lastIndexOf.
 
In CR, I'm not sure if they have such a function.  You could probably split the line into an array, search from the end to the beginning of the array and replace the offending array values with "", then use the JOIN function to get the string back.  I would probably check for double spaces and replace those with a single space.
 
It may not be optimal, but hopefully it will point you in a direction to a solution.
