The good thing about trying to remember the correct Roman numeral is that
helps to keep the mind active. Relying on a macro doesn't really do that.

Yes, but not everyone is familiar with the use of roman numerals and some
of the larger numbers mayrequire a little thought from someone who does
not use Roman Numerals frequently. Is it quicker to use the macro to work
out the ROMAN equivalent of 1575 or to work out that it is MDLXXV then
type that?

Type a number e.g. 21, select it and run the following macro
Dim oRng As Range
Set oRng = Selection.Range
oRng.Fields.Add oRng, 34, oRng.Text & " \*Roman", False
ActiveWindow.View.ShowFieldCodes = False
it will thus display XX1
Isn't it just easier to type XXI ?
