If you are entering a Values in Text record for a Language that does not use the Western Arabic numeral system (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, etc.), the fields on card 3 allow you to enter suitable numerals for the Language together with the relevant Thousand and Decimal Separators:

The numerals that you enter on card 3 will not be used automatically. Instead, you will need to specify in each individual Form Template field whether they are to be used. To do this, specify the Language when adding or modifying a field in the Form Template and choose "From Language" as the Digits option:

This allows you the option of adding more than one version of a particular field to a Form Template to enable a value to be printed using different numeral systems on the same form:

Be careful when choosing the "From Language" option. If you choose this option in a Form Template field and connect to a Values in Text record in which you have left the fields on card 3 empty, the field will not print any numerals.

You can use this feature in any Form Template field that is likely to print numerals (e.g. dates, Customer Numbers and Names and Item Numbers as well as prices, quantities and other numeric values, as shown for the Date, Chq No and Amount fields in the illustration above). If you have specified on card 2 in the relevant Values in Text record that the Minor Currency will be printed as Numbers, this includes "Amount in Text" fields (please refer to the Printing Amounts in Words in Forms page for an illustration). However, the feature is limited to the Form Templates that you will use to print the following forms: Invoices of all kinds (i.e. including Cash Notes, Credit Notes, Interest Invoices, Proforma Invoices and Project Invoices), POS Invoices, Bar Tabs of all kinds (i.e. including Bar Tab Kitchen Orders and Bar Tab Receipts), Receipt Forms and Payment Forms.
