A "field" in a report is actually not a table field; it can be any expression. So, for example, if your number is stored in field "MyNumber", you can include a "report field" with an expression similar to this:
"The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. " + transform(MyNumber, "##,###.##")

This works OK if the report gets printed using the same PRINTER the report was created with, but I have a SPACING PROBLEM if USER selects another printer -- the FIELD may get printed on top of the LABEL text.

Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
