I have some attachments in my document and I would like to number them with a roman style.

How can I do this?

I tried:

  \documentclass[12pt,a4paper,oneside]{book}
  \begin{document}

  \chapter*{Atachments}
  \renewcommand{\thesection}{\Roman{section}}
  \section{my section}

  \end{document}

EDIT Before the chapter* of attachments, I have an appendix with sections A.1, A.2, A.3.

So, the number of the first section of attachments is IV instead of I.

How can I correct this?

You have a missing brace at the end - {\Roman{section}} works. – Harish Kumar Jan 13 at 22:48
Does adding the missing brace after \Roman{section} help? – egreg Jan 13 at 22:49
@egreg Ops for the last brace. Anyway, I still have a problem. See my edit please. – Ford Prefect Jan 13 at 23:01
@FordPrefect The command \chapter* doesn't reset section; add also \setcounter{section}{0} – egreg Jan 13 at 23:13

You can use \setcounter{section}{0}:

  \documentclass[12pt,a4paper,oneside]{book}
  \begin{document}
  \appendix
  \chapter{One}
  \section{one}  
  \chapter*{Attachments}
  \setcounter{section}{0}
  \renewcommand{\thesection}{\Roman{section}}  
  \section{my section}
  %
  \end{document}

And probably write correctly "Attachments". ;-) – egreg Jan 13 at 23:13
@egreg OOps! Corrected. Thanks :-) – Harish Kumar Jan 13 at 23:15
