Has anyone had any success entering in silver measurements. The standard for recording silver weights is Troy Ounces & Pennyweights: oz(troy), dut - and then converting that measurement into Grams.
 
I was able to set up a new authority for "Weight" and have it convert Troy Ouces into Grams, but I can't seem to have it read Troy Ouces & Pennyweights and also convert it into Grams. 
 
Since this is the standard measurement for silver I thought I'd give you a holler & see if any of you have had this issue too & if, perchance, you had a solution!

Thanks in advance,

Jill
