It's a matter of house style. Some retain all digits (135-137); some
retain the low-order two digits (135-37); some delete all duplicated
digits (135-7, but 139-41).

This is Chicago Manual of Style, I'm pretty sure (I don't have one
here). The rule is not to repeat the hundreds digit if it's the same on
both ends of the range. I think, then, that 244-247 should become 244-47
(not 244-7). Makes it very hard to search for page ranges replacing

Hi Framers,
This is more of a curiosity than anything. I was browsing the index in a
book last night and I noticed that at the end of page ranges, common numbers
are suppressed. For example 244-7 instead of 244-247 and 138-41 instead of
138-141. Is this simply to save space, or is there some kind
