From: JoAnn Paules [MVP] on 18 Jan 2010 11:59 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" <gmayor(a)REMOVETHISmvps.org> wrote in message news:ORaevLFmKHA.6096(a)TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl... > 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.

From: Terry Farrell on 18 Jan 2010 17:41 But the point is that XX1 is never correct: it has to be XXI :) -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "Graham Mayor" <gmayor(a)REMOVETHISmvps.org> wrote in message news:ORaevLFmKHA.6096(a)TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl... > 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.
