formatter
The formatter is a global object that allows you to format values in a script.
The Text Script Wizard also allows you to format variable data; see "Using the Text Script
Wizard" on page607 and "Formatting variable data" on page610.
Note
The TextFormatter object is now deprecated and will eventually be removed.
