How to Put Roman Numerals in Microsoft Office 2003

Roman numerals are a numbering system developed in ancient Rome. For example, the roman symbol "V" represents five, or the symbol "XVII" is 17. Currently, Roman numerals are used to number pages, chapters, months, centuries or in people's names. Microsoft Office Excel 2003 has a function to convert numbers into Roman numerals. Once created in Excel, a Roman numeral can be inserted in other Microsoft Office applications such as Microsoft Word.
