How do I change a number in word to text to reflect in header as page number. In other words change Page 2 to reflect as Page Two and consecutively page number the document correctly.

What version of Office are you using? 2003, 2007 etc.– Michael FrankOct 21, 2013 at 20:11

I confirmed this worked in Word 2007.
Insert your page number as usual into your document. Then click in the page number field itself and turn on the field code (Shift-F9). The field code should read something similar to:
{PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT}
Change MERGEFORMAT to CARDTEXT then exit field codes (F9).

IMO this is the simplest answer, and should work in most versions of Word. The only things I would point out (perhaps not relevant to the OP) are that (a) if the document is long (>100 pages), the text is "One hundred one" which is probably fine for U.S. English but isn't universal (others say "One hundred and one" or "A hundred and one" (But I doubt that text actually appears often in writing). And (b), if the OP wants to use a ToC, the page numbering will still follow the format defined in "Format Page Numbers" and AFAIK that cannot be set to the same format that Cardtext gives you.– user181946Oct 22, 2013 at 15:42
