Titles on office doors
I'm wondering if someone could help. I'm trying to find out if I should use italics when writing out a title found on an office doorway. An example: Mr. Smith, Dean of Students. If used in a sentence, do I need to apply quotation marks or italicize or both?

You would certainly not use both. I really have to see the sentence. If it is within dialogue, I think I would use quotation marks, but if it is within narrative, italics would probably be a better choice.
