How do I insert Roman Numerals?
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 -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org "ckj" wrote in message ...

How do I insert Roman Numerals?
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? -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org "Gordon" wrote in message ...

How do I insert Roman Numerals?
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. ;-) -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] Tech Editor for "Microsoft Publisher 2007 For Dummies" "Graham Mayor" wrote in message ...

How do I insert Roman Numerals?
But the point is that XX1 is never correct: it has to be XXI

If only Outlook Express supported the macros, we might not have such typos
