Hi, Everyone,
I have a very minor puzzling situation in a book I'm proofreading.
In one of the newer documents on what to do as a proofreader, it states that we
are to number preliminary pages with lower case Roman numerals beginning with i.
However, in this book I am proofing, the acknowledgments begin on IX (Roman
numeral nine), but there are ten actual pages before the acknowledgments begin.
One is a blank page which I can remove, but even so there will still be nine
preliminary pages before the first page with a page number, Roman numeral nine.
Do I begin my lower case numerals with zero--is there a Roman numeral for zero?
And why are we numbering these unnumbered preliminary pages anyway?
Bob, I'm waiting for a humorous answer from you, but also seriously what do I
do when the number of unnumbered pages is greater than the lower case numerals?
Lori C.
