I have my page numbers as lower case roman numerals (i, ii, iii, etc).
However, my table of contents shows them as upper case roman numerals (I, II,
III, etc). I need to have them shown in the table of contents as lower case.
How do I do that?

Sure, I can help you with that! Here's how you can change the table of contents to display lower case roman numerals:

1. First, select the table of contents in your document by clicking anywhere within it.
2. Next, go to the "References" tab in the ribbon at the top of the screen.
3. Click on the "Table of Contents" button and select "Custom Table of Contents" from the drop-down menu.
4. In the "Options" section of the dialog box that appears, click on the "Modify" button.
5. In the "Modify Style" dialog box, select the "TOC 1" style (or whichever style you are using for your table of contents).
6. Click on the "Modify" button again to open the "Modify Style" dialog box.
7. In the "Modify Style" dialog box, click on the "Format" button at the bottom left corner and select "Numbering".
8. In the "Numbering" dialog box, select "Lowercase Roman Numerals" from the list of options.
9. Click "OK" to close the "Numbering" dialog box, then click "OK" again to close the "Modify Style" dialog box.
10. Finally, click "OK" in the "Table of Contents Options" dialog box to update your table of contents with the new formatting.

That's it! Your table of contents should now display lower case roman numerals instead of upper case. Let me know if you have any other questions or if there's anything else I can help you with.

What version of Word are you using? Go to the table of contents and press
Alt+F9. That will reveal the underlying field code. Copy the contents of the
field and paste it into a reply here so we can see what you're working with.

The version I am using is Word 2003. The code in the table of contents is as
follows: { TOC \0 "1-3" \H \Z \T "1 SECTION,1,2 SUBSECTION,2,3 TOPIC,3" }.

I would guess that the setting for the TOC style in use is upper case, and
it is just applying that to the page numbers as well. Is the corresponding
title also in all caps in the TOC?

You could either make the TOC style *not* be all caps, or you could change
the page numbers after the fact (and change them again every time you update
the TOC).

If the TOC style was not in caps, would it still recognized the title as
being in caps and simply show page numbers and titles in whatever case they
were intended to be? I guess I could change them manually as well. If there
were an easier way . . .

I think so. Try it out. See Step 3 here for how to modify a TOC style:
http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/toc/CreateATOC.html

It may depend on whether you typed the title in all caps, or made it all
caps because the style used for the title applied all caps, if that makes
sense.

I changed it manually. It was fairly painless and, in the long run, quicker
I think than messing around too closely with the TOC codes. Thanks for your
help.

How do I do that?

I discovered how to do this (in Word 2007), and it only took a couple of hours to find:

-Highlight and right click on the roman numeral value in the table of contents
-Select "Font"
-In the "Effects" section, uncheck "Small caps" and/or "All caps"

That should fix it.
