fmtcount package (out-of-date) FAQ

How do I use the value of a label in \numberstring, \ordinalstring etc? 🔗

Try using Heiko Oberdiek's refcount package which provides commands that will set a counter to the number given by a label. You can then pass that counter to \numberstring etc. For example:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{fmtcount}
\usepackage{refcount}

\begin{document}
\newcounter{myctr}\setcounterpageref{myctr}{pg:last}
First page. This document has \numberstring{myctr} pages.

\newpage
Second page.\label{pg:last}
\end{document}
