Roman numerals?
As a child I learned that the
Roman numeral for the number
four was IV, yet on many
clocks and watches with Roman
numerals on the face, the
number four is shown as IIII.
Any idea why?

Two possibilities which have been suggested at various times in the past are: 1. "IIII" is visually a better balance with the "VIII" opposite it. 2. It makes the total number of symbols 20 x I, 4 x V and 4 x X so the clockmaker could form them all from one simple mould "IIIIIVX" used four times. |

How do I change roman numerals I am writing my thesis, and I
need the first page to have no
numbers (which I have
already), the numbering to
start on the second page, and
the first four pages need to
be roman numerals--the rest
will be Arabic numbers
starting with one. Can anyone
help me do this? Thanks!

This is going to be a bit long, but it should do it. (I am going to include your first page in case anyone else needs the answer to this question) This works for either the header or footer, I am going to explain the header. 1. On the second page of your document, go the the "Insert" tab in the "Header & Footer" group select "Page Number". Choose "Top of the Page" Choose "Roman 1" 2. The "Header & Footer Tools" "Design" tab will become visible. Check the box in the "Options" group that says "Different First Page". (This will remove the number from the first page.) 3. Click "Close Header and Footer" button in the "Close" group. 4. Go to the bottom of the 4th page and go to the "Page Layout" tab. Click the "Breaks" button in the "Page Setup" group. Select "Next Page" under the "Section Breaks" heading. 5. (You may need to hit the delete button once or twice, as most of the time the section break will add an extra page) 6. Go to the "Insert" tab and click "Page Number" in the "Header & Footer" group. Click "Top of Page" and choose "Plain Number 1". 7. In the "Design" tab under the "Header & Footer Tools", turn off the "Link to Previous" button in the "Navigation" group. (This will allow your numbering to start back at 1.) 8. In the "Header & Footer" group click the "Page Number" button and go to "Format Page Numbers...". 9. Choose your number format, in this case Arabic. Click the "Start at:" button, and make sure it says "1". And there you have it. I hope this helps |

Why do the roman numerals mean I have a few questions:
Is this numbering limited only
to the transition metals?
As if it is something like
Tungsten (VI) Fluoride it
refers to Tungsten.
Does VI mean the charge? Can
an element have a 6+ charge?
Basically, do the roman
numerals mean the charge?
All metals are with a + charge
right?
Appreciate your help. Very,
very much.

yes they do mean the charge e.g. Iron (II) Oxide = Fe 2+ O 2- Iron (III) Phosphate = Fe 3+ PO4 3- Copper (II) Sulphate = Cu 2+ SO4 2- Technically they are only linked to transition metals, because transition metals can have different valencies/charges. Metals only lose electrons so they are always with a positive/+ charge. some elements can have a 6+ charge but i havent seen one before, but some transition metals might be able to. e.g. your example Tungsten (VI) flouride is WFe6 is W 6+ |
