Default How Use Letter and Number to Automatically Label Rows of Table

Thank you Jean-Guy,

When I selected the first available numbering option under the Numbered tab,
the Reset button was grayed out.

Does it matter if the first available numbering option I choose is 1., 2.,
3.... or can it be 1), 2), 3) or can it be a), b), c) ?

When I selected a), b), and c), I then clicked Reset,
Then I clicked Yes.
Then I clicked Customize.
Then, I was unable to add "-D" in front of "1"

I eventually got to the point where all rows were labeled "1-D", but they
were not labled "1-D, 2-D, 3-D" etc.


Also, in order to see the full number and letter in the column I went into
Format/Paragraph and entered ".2" for the Left margin; otherwise, I could not
see the full number.


What is the purpose of the far left column?
Are the number and the letter in the same column? If so, are they in the
far left column?
Please verify that the far left column I added is attached to the table.

I want to "number" the rows of my table with 1-D, 2-D, 3-D, 4-D. How
do I do this automatically?


Add a narrow column to the left of the table.
Create a numbered style ("Format Styles and Formatting... New Style...")
Once there, after having given a name to your new style, select the
Numbering option (Format Numbering...)
Select the first available style under the "Numbered" tab.
Click on Reset.
Click on Yes
Click on Customize...
Type "-D" next to "1." in the "Number format" field (Without the quotes).
Make sure that all the values for "Aligned at:" Tab Space after:" and
"Indent at" are set to 0 (You won't be using the style for paragraphs that
contain text...)
Click on OK twice
Select the first narrow column in your table.
Apply the style you just created.
If you add or delete rows, the numbering should adjust automatically.
