You want the amount paid written out in words like we used to do on the old bank checks?

This is one way:

Copy your invoice form
Edit the copied form
Select-> Field Setup tab
Press properties icon for Data - Payment Rcvd
Under Processing heading, Select->Number to words
Enlarge corresponding box so the text fits.
Make other changes to the format
Save
To print, choose this form instead of your usual form

Hello Reuben,

Thanks for the answers. My greatest challenge is that when i change from numbers to words, the currency that comes with it is US dollars. I want it in my own default currency, eg. Euro or pounds sterling. How do I make my default currency show in this number to word change.

Thanks.

The currency name in the numbers to words processing is hardwired to the default currency.
If your default currency is the Euro you can change the corresponding define or create an override.

Change
define('TEXT_DOLLARS','Dollars');
to
define('TEXT_DOLLARS','Euros');

Path: /modules/phreeform/language/en_us/language.php

Enclosed is the file to override TEXT_DOLLARS from Dollars to Euros as well as a modified invoice that
spells out the amount received. The form CurrencyReceipt.xml has to be imported from the
phreebooks module. Both files are in en_us language folders.

Thanks Ruben, the number to words function is more of a locale type operation. I don't know how to handle it as I'm sure every language formats the wording differently. It really should be a function located in the language directory but then I would need to have a php programmed assist on every translation.
