<p>Hey, if they're not even sure why or <strong>when</strong> to use "number" vs. "no.," they should be fairly easy to push off the ship.</p>

<p>Wow! Yet another thing about which to consider. I hadn't ever thought of search functionality. I agree with you, but I am not sure I can convince the reporters to jump ship and travel down this new path! But I do thank you for giving me that new way of thinking. </p>

<p>Audrey, I always use "number" vs. "no." for word index purposes. If an atty is searching for "number," he is probably going to look under "number" vs. "no." </p>
<p>Same reason I don't spell out numbers at the beginning of a sentence (except one through nine, and I'm starting to even re-think that one). They're probably going to search for "80" vs. "eighty."</p>
<p>Two rules I've chosen to ignore based upon ease of search capabilities for the attorneys.</p>

<p>I agree with everyone that No. randomly put into a sentence is wrong unless it's in reference to Room No. 10 or something like that.</p>
<p></p>
<p>The best reason to write out the word number when said in casual conversation or just in colloquy is you'll get paid more.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Q What number is that?</p>
<p>A I don't know what that number is, but the number before</p>
<p> that is 24. </p>
<p>or</p>
<p>A I don't know what that no. is, but the No. before that is 24.</p>

<p>When you write out number, you're using up more spaces so you're more likely to drop down a line. One more line could be one more page, could be another $3 to $4.</p>
<p></p>
<p>That's why we brief it, but write it out.</p>

<p>I was taught to use Number written out in a Q or A....because they say the word "number."</p>
<p>However, we do use No. in parentheticals....(Exhibit No. 5 marked for identification.)</p>

<p>Thanks, and I'm in full agreement with you. I just have several reporters and all are doing something different. We really need a "One-Stop Grammar" book! But I do love this language :)</p>

<p>I have no citation for you right off hand; however, "There are a No. of things..." is ABSOLUTELY incorrect! I always put No. after page and exhibit when followed by the numeral. Or, "Take No. 7, No. 12 and put them in the trash." It seems to give them more formality or something, weird!</p>
<p>I don't put, "What exhibit No. is that?" Wrong! It is, "What exhibit number is that?" If I find something official for you, I will forward it.</p>
