For example, the following errors out: Chapter \Word{\numstr{23}} As does Chapter \Words{\numstr{23}} but Chapter \numstr{23} Works as does Chapter \Words{twenty-three} However, the former returns twenty-three (all lower case) and the latter returns Twenty-three (only the first part is in upper case) It's not clear from the Chicago Manual of Style if three should be capitalized in this instance but, to my eye, it doesn't look right. Is there a way to convert chapter numbers to text and select the desired capitalization?

If you want every word to be capitalized, simply change one, two, three, etc in the source of \numstr to One, Two, Three.

If you want every word to be capitalized, simply change one, two, three, etc in the source of \numstr to One, Two, Three. Aditya If I do that, they will always be in upper case. I would lose the option of having them in lower case.
