Hi all,
I read Madeleine's message as "be consistent."
So, if the numbers in question are supposed to be upper case use *all* upper
case, and vice versa.
The assertion that all Roman numerals are upper case is just plain wrong.
Roman numerals in prefatory material are almost always lower case. Also,
their are lower case Roman numerals in outlines.
And, as Sue pointed out, Roman numerals in medical terminology should be
upper case.
So, bottom line , I believe we should keep to what the actual print says.
Just my thoughts...
Deborah

Except that it said to use lower case Roman Numerals in the proofreading
manual. So what should we do?

Hi all,
Excuse me Cindy, but Roman Numerals are always in caps.
