Just type them...
I
II
III
IV
V
VI
VII
VIII
IX
X
XI

etc etc.
 
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 ?
 
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?

<sigh> you're right - everyone should have a classical education.... :-(
 
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.

But writing macros does.

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