numbers spelled out
I thought that the new AAMT rule is that numbers 1 through 10 do not have to be spelled out, but I cannot find that rule in AAMT BOS. Can anyone help me on this? Thanks.

Generally it's a rule not to use numbers at the beginning of a sentence, but this is generally waived for this particular instance. It is
Height: 6 feet.
If they add inches it's
Height 6 feet 2 inches with no comma to separate them.
