Write Roman numbers in LibreOffice - how it works

There are two ways to write Roman numbers in LibreOffice. We'll show you both options.

LibreOffice: Write Roman Numbers

• If you use the standard font "Times New Roman", you can simply enter the Roman numerals using the keyboard
• Simply use the following capital letters: I = 1, V = 5, X = 10, L = 50, C = 100, D = 500, M = 1000.

Insert Roman numerals in LibreOffice using "special characters"

1. Click on the "Insert" menu item above and select the "Special characters" there.
2. Select the "Times New Roman" font and the "Latin base" subset.
3. Now click on the respective letters for the Roman numbers one after the other until you have completely entered your number series.
4. The "OK" button closes the window and the Roman numerals are inserted in the document.
