Default Spliting digits up to fit paper form

I was going to work this out with excel formulas like text, mid, etc,
but this is not going to be a simple approach even going that way.

Ok, here are two separate form problems I have.

Form 1 requires whole dollars in one column, and the cents in
another. So, basically I have to drop the correct total in the right
bucket if we are going to do it through programming.

ie 27,651.09 needs to be "27,651" in one column and "09" in the
one
right next to it. These numbers are formula driven totals calculated
elsewhere that must be transformed for this one form, as archaic as
the form happens to be.

Form 2 is worse, this would take a number like "27,651.09" and divide
it one digit at a time for the approximate box on the printed form.


ie 2|7|6|5|1|0|9|

I need a straightforward approach as possible, because I usually get
criticized when I get too fancy.

Ideas greatly appreciated.
