How to insert Roman numerals

Roman numerals to denote the numbers of centuries or millennia, volume numbers of multivolume books (sometimes the number of parts, chapters and sections of books), ordinals of monarchs (Peter the great, Nicholas II), important events (I Punic war, XXVII Summer Olympic games) or items (III law of thermodynamics). Using Roman numerals we can write any integer no more than 3999 (MMMCMXCIX). Fortunately, you do not need to memorize these numbers by heart, or seek out ready-made table and carefully retype a complicated sequence of Latin letters into your document. Microsoft Office, can easily enter Roman numbers.
