BOS 3 on numbering digits, ribs, etc. - Question


Posted: Jun 16, 2011

Can someone please tell me what the BOS 3 says about typing enumerated ribs, digits, etc. ?  Is it "third digit" or "3rd digit?"

Thanks.

BOS says 3rd - sweetgirlsmom

I've never known it to be spelled out even before BOS was the Bible. - mandy (SM)

companies might request it for some odd reason, but haven't run across one.

For 20+ years I spelled it out. - Veteran

It was always spelled out at every place I worked for 20+ years.
