I have a form with a field that the user enters in a numeric quantity (Text1) I want to have a script convert that data from text1 into words in text2.
How can I accomplish this?
All your help is greatly appreciated as I am a Javascript / Acrobat Virgin just starting to learn how all these comands work.
Thanks!!

LiveCycle Designer has a 'Num2Word' function.
For AcroForms Adobe provided a PDF check form with a 'numtowords' function, see Number to Text.

Thank you for the response!!!! But I need more help (a 2x4 to the forehead might work for me)
For some odd reason my software vendor told us we can not use lifecyle to create our forms due to incompatability reasons...
I pasted the large script from the link you gave me into :
Advanced / Document Processing/Document Javascripts/ ConvertToWords
I then pasted the short script:
var nValue = this.getField("Text6").value;
event.value = ConvertToWords(nValue);
Into the field I want the words to appear (Text6 is where the numbers are inputted to)
I get nothing... what I am I doing wrong?

Your consultant should have fully explained what he/she meant. If you have users with Reader or Acrobat before 5.1 there are all sorts of issues. Acrobat 9 is buggy and has many issues with LiveCycle Designer forms.
I just tried it and it works for me with Acrobat 8. This is basically the code from the version 4.0 example provided by Adobe.
Make sure you deleted the Acrobat 'assumed' function definition, you should only have the provided code as the function and you copied the entire code for the functions, there is a series of variables outside of the functions and there are 2 functions that need to be copied. You also have to have the Acrobat preferences set to allow the running of JavaScript.
Do you get any error messages in the JavaScript console?

I have gotten it to work!!!!! The only issue is that You enter the numbers into TEXT6 and then The words wont auto populate into TEXT7 unless you put a character in it. But I can live with it unless you have a fix suggestion...
Thank you SO MUCH!!!!!!
