How to use Generate Roman Numbering

  1. 1. Set the count and starting point. Enter How many numbers and Start from to control how many Roman numerals appear and which value the sequence begins at.
  2. 2. Choose the letter case. Turn on Lowercase numerals for a style like i, ii, iii, or leave it off for the traditional uppercase I, II, III often used in outlines and chapter headings.
  3. 3. Choose a separator. Set Separator to a comma or newline depending on whether the numerals are going into a numbered list or a table of contents.
  4. 4. Copy the numerals. Copy the generated Roman numeral sequence into your document, outline or design layout.

When to use Generate Roman Numbering

Generate Roman Numbering produces a running sequence of Roman numerals in either case, the style used for outline levels, clock faces and formal document sections. Use this tool instead of converting each number to Roman form by hand one at a time.

  • Numbering an outline's top-level sections. A legal document or thesis needs its major sections labeled I through X, so generating ten uppercase Roman numerals gives a ready-made list to paste into the heading styles.
  • Labeling a multi-part book series. A publisher preparing cover art for a seven-book series wants lowercase Roman numerals for the subtitle line, so i through vii gets generated and dropped into the design file.
  • Building a clock face design. A watch face mockup needs the twelve traditional Roman numeral hour markers, and generating the sequence from i to xii saves manually typing each one.
