0, 1, 2, 3, 4 ... or 0 to 10 spelled out, and then starting at 11, type numerically, 11, 12, 13, 14 .... I was taught that a long time ago, but I'm not sure what the current rule of thumb is. Thanks!

numbers - type out versus arabic
Question: What is the rule of thumb: In a report I know it is in medication and measurements like 5 mg and 5 inches. But what about in dictation? 5 weeks or five weeks, 5 children or five children. I know BOS changed their policy on using more arabic numbers instead of typing out. Can someone advise what is the preferred way? Does it apply something to things or objects versus units of time like 5 weeks or 5 days? Thank you.
