Where to find the Latin letters on the keyboard. How to put Roman numerals in the Word

Today, our readers, we decided to give some tips about the numbers on the keyboard. In order to produce a unit designation in the system of Roman numerals, it is necessary simply to use the English letter "I". As you could understand, if you need to specify a Roman two or three, then in this case you will need to use several English letters "I". Surely it is clear that the Roman numeral 1 on the keyboard, as well as 2 and 3, is written with the English capital letter "I".

Solution options

As a rule, Roman numerals are not present on the keyboard, but using English letters or simply a symbol table, you can write them easily and quickly. The number five will be denoted by the letter "V", and four - a combination of two letters at once, or rather, it looks like this - "IV". In this case, such a number is read as follows: 1 is less than 5. Numbers from six and ending with eight are written with the letter “V”, while it is necessary to add the necessary number of symbols “I”, this is done on the right side. In total, one to three English letters can be set.

How to write

If you need to write Roman numerals on the keyboard, then you can use a specialized program that can be easily downloaded for free from the Internet. In addition to specialized programs, there are also standard features, or rather, you can write in Roman numerals with the help of a symbol table. However, there is a large number of options.

Now let's look at how to write a Roman numeral 10, it is denoted by the English letter "X". The number 9 will be written in a similar way - “IX”, the numbers 11 and 12 are written according to the same principle. You can actually remember all this very quickly. The main thing is that while you are writing Roman numerals, be careful, because the mistake made can be critical.

The number fifty will be denoted by the letter “L”, and if you write the letter “X” on the left, then this number will be considered to be 40 in the general account, but if the letter “X” is written on the right, then, accordingly, you will get 60. Hundreds of numbers will be denoted by the special letter “D”, if you assign additional numbers to the left or right, then, accordingly, you will receive other numbers. Roman numerals on the keyboard can be absolutely any, or rather, we now wanted to convey to you that you can create any Roman number using English letters.

Conclusion

If you need to know the entire list of characters required for writing Roman numbers, you can use special tables that contain all the necessary data. If you still have a question about where the Roman numerals are on the keyboard, then we, unfortunately, want to upset you, since there are no such numerals on the keyboard, but we have provided you with options on how to write with such numbers.

We hope that the above information was quite complete and helped you understand the problem that arose. We wish you a quick typing and understanding with the keyboard.

Good all the time of day, my dear friends, readers and ordinary visitors. I saw here one paperwork where the 21st century was written. No, you do not think, I do not think this is wrong. I just somehow got used to it since childhood, that I’m writing in Roman numerals, for example, in the XXI century. I just finally wondered why this person wrote the century in Arabic numerals.

And you know? It turned out that he simply does not know how to do it. Yes. This happens and it is not critical. You can live without it) But for those who still want to learn how to print Roman numerals on a computer, I prepared this short article. We will do this in three ways.

Latin letter method

Well, this is the easiest and I would even say the standard way of writing Roman numerals. The essence is simple: each Roman numeral corresponds to a specific letter of the Latin alphabet. Moreover, it is customary to write capital letters.

But here you should know the rules of the letter itself, because XI is 11, and IX is 9. And if you take for example the same century, then XXI is 21, and XIX is already 19. But IXX cannot be according to the rules.

So let's see which Roman numeral corresponds to which number. Everything is perfectly reflected in the picture below. So now you should not have any problems with writing these numbers.

Translation formula

But if you need to write the number 784 in Roman numerals, then you are unlikely to want to sit and count which letters to put on which side in order not to be mistaken. Am I right?

Therefore, an excellent method will come to our aid. We simply substitute a specific formula at the right moment. See how it is done:

1. Open up microsoft document  Word and press CTRL + F9. In this case, you will see braces.
2. And now between these brackets we introduce a simple formula (= your number \\ * Roman)  and press F9. After that, you will see the resulting Roman number, i.e. if we enter (= 22 \\ * Roman), then at the output we get XXII. Well, if we take the number more complicated, for example, written above 784 and insert it into the formula (= 784 \\ * Roman), then now we will get DCCLXXXIV. In what a long it turned out.

Search query

Well, I could not help but get around the way search query. It is actually very simple and effective. You just need to go to any search engine, such as Yandex or Google, and then write to search bar  query "784 roman numerals". In the very top line you will be answered. That's how simple it is)

And a small question for you. Do you write Roman numerals yourself, when it is appropriate to insert them or do everything with the help of Arabic? Write in the comments. I am very interested to see.

Well, on this I finish my little article, and I hope that you like it. Do not forget to subscribe to updates of my blog, and also you can walk while here. I am sure that you will find some useful and interesting information for yourself.

Well, I say goodbye to you. Good luck and see you soon. Bye Bye!

Often, novice users of individual computers have a question about how to dial Roman numbers on the keyboard. This system  numerals are quite often used to label lists, for example. As part of the material presented to your attention, various methods for solving this problem will be described. Based on their comparison, the one that is easiest to use in practice will be chosen.

Standard solution

A more common answer to the question of how to dial Roman numbers on the keyboard is the introduction of the British keyboard layout. It is enabled by default in each version. operating system  "Windows", so that the process of entering the problems should not appear. The only thing you need to know in this case is a set of numbers that are used in this number system. These include:

• “1” is the number “I” (the candidate is the British letter “I”).
• “5” is the number “V” (in the same alphabet it is “B”).
• "10" is "X" (you can put the Russian "X" or the English "X").
• "50" - denoted as "L" (in the Latin layout of each keyboard, it is located).
• “100” is “C” (in this case, everything is similar to “10”).
• "500" - denoted as "D".
• "1000" - in Latin numeration "M".

By counting these numbers, you can get any number. With all this it is necessary to note one fundamental aspect. If before the huge number is the smallest, then it is subtracted from it. For example, IV - will be 4 in Arabic terms. But if everything is the opposite, after the largest is the smallest, then everything is summed up. As an example, 6 - VI. Knowing these rules, to realize how to type Roman numbers on the keyboard is not difficult. Only now is not always all this can be remembered. In such cases, it is best to make a cheat sheet and use it when typing such numbers.

ASCII codes

Another method to enter the Roman numbers on the keyboard of a laptop or desktop computer is the introduction of the so-called ASCII codes. In other words, the same English letters can be typed by the composition of the ALT buttons and the sequential dialing of the Arabic number composition on the extended keyboard (do not forget that the Num Lock key must be on). The likely code composition is shown in Table 1. Implementation this method  essentially complicates everything, because it is easier to use in practice the one that was given earlier.

Table 1.

ASCII - codes of a set of Roman numbers.

"Word"

More simply Latin numbers on the keyboard to dial in the "Word" or any other office application. To do this, this group of applications provides a special function. The set order in this case is as follows:

• Press the combination of the Ctrl and F9 buttons.
• Then a special conversion function will start and brackets () will appear. In them you need to dial the following = necessary_ Arabic_number * ROMAN.
• Then press the multifunctional button F9.
• Then our arabic number  converted to roman.

The above method is really simpler than previously described. But he has one significant drawback - he works exclusively in office applications, and if you need to dial a Roman number in Photoshop, it is already unrealistic to use it. In the latter case, you can dial the necessary number here. Then select using the manipulator, copy and then stick into another application.

Summary

As part of this material, various methods have been proposed for how to type Roman numbers on the keyboard. Comparing them, we can conclude that it is easiest to use the British alphabet, in which everything is the necessary numbers. This solution works in all applications without exception. Its only drawback is the need to know the number of this number system. But this question can be solved. If you often have to use Roman numbers, then you already remember them. Well, in the latter case, you can make a draft, which will significantly simplify this task.

Hello, dear readers. Today we will return to the topic of working with Word. And today's topic will be about how to put Roman numerals in the Word. We may need them in the numbering of paragraphs in the document, or when writing the text to write a century. Roman numerals in Word can make your document more readable.

Let me remind you that the last time I talked about how it is carried out. If you do not know how, then be sure to read.

The first method where Roman numerals may be needed is to create a numbered list. For example, when creating a document with several points. Let's see how this is done.

For starters, you can select to write the necessary items, if necessary. Then on the “Home” tab in the “Paragraph” section, select the “Numbering Library” and indicate that we need to do this in Roman numerals. Look at the example.

We write in English

This is one of the most simple waysif you want to insert a roman number. We can print it ourselves. And for this you need to switch to English. Usually these are combinations. aLT keys  + SHIFT, rarely CTRL + SHIFT.

Now let's remember the writing of Roman numerals:

• 1, 2, 3 - I, II, III (letter I, Russian Ш)
• 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 - IV, V, V, I VII, VII (letter V, Russian M)
• 9, 10, 11 - IX, X, XII (letter X, Russian H)
• 50, 100, 500, 1000 - L (d), C (c), D (c), M (s)

That is, the method is very simple - hold down the Shift key and type the number we need (more precisely, Latin letters).

Let Word write

The third way is quite tricky, but at the same time, very convenient. And its convenience lies in the fact that we will not need to think about how to dial the number in the Roman version. To do this, we will use a special formula in Word.

Let's take this method step by step:

1. Put the cursor in the right place for us.
2. Press the key combination CTRL + F9.
3. In the braces that appear, we set: (=)
4. Next, write the number that we need to convert. I will write this year: (= 2016)
5. Put a slash \\
6. We put an asterisk * and in English we write ROMAN. If we type small roman, then Roman letters will be small. Here is my example: (= 2016 \\ * ROMAN)
7. To apply the formula you need to press F9

If you did everything correctly, then you will have the appropriate signs. See what happened with me.

Insert characters

Well, the last method. Judge how comfortable it is.

Open the "Insert" tab, find the "Symbols" section and the corresponding "Symbol" item, and in it click on the "Other Symbols" button. Now in the window that opens, you need to find the symbol you need and click on the "Insert" button. And so on, until you insert all the characters you need.
