How do I insert roman numerals into the text of a Word document?

[Guest]

I don't know how to insert a roman numeral in the text of a Word document. I
figured it would be in symbols but it is not.

It's a capital I or V or X or a combination of those.

Actually, any field that displays a number can be made to display it
in roman numerals by including the \*Roman switch (or \*roman for
lower-case). For example, to show the year 1996 in upper case, use a
formula field with the code

{ = 1996 \*Roman }

When updated, it displays MCMXCVI.

This switch is most often used in a {PAGE} field to number
frontmatter.
