When to Spell out Numbers

Hi,

Is there a rule on when numbers should be listed as numerals or spelled out as words in a magazine article?

Any input would be appreciated!

That is the usual practice.

You should contact the magazine directly for a copy of their house-style. This will tell you exactly how they want everything presented and spelt and their own preferences and foibles.
