In Libreoffice Calc, you can turn on “macros” which use the “BASIC” (Beginners All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code) language similar to Microsoft Excel’s “VBA” (Visual Basic for Applications).
The advantage of using your own macro is “future-proofing”. The English language for cheque / check writing isn’t about to change but some extension add-ons from the past no long work today.
A summary of most respected guides on BASIC macros can be found here.
From Apache Open Office (almost identical to LibreOffice): SpellNumber in Calc Basic. This according to author still needs debugging.
For Microsoft Excel: How to spell out or convert numbers to English words in Excel?. Libreoffice has experimental support for Excel’s VBA (Visual Basic for Applications). So you can implement the macro below as is, or convert it to Libre Office BASIC syntax.
