Auto numbers
Is there a way to stop Word from bogging down when using auto numbers? Even
worse, when my boss reviews the document, ALL the auto numbers get screwed up, I have to go through the fix all of them. Just today, an autonumber refused to start at 1. I closed Word, then opened it up again...all the numbers were screwed up. Then some of thed righted themselves (I don't know why). Frustration doesn't begin to describe how I feel right now. Mr. Gates really doesn't want to meet me. -- Steph |

You will get more control over numbering if you set it up using styles. See
http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/numb...Numbering.html. And for methods to restart numbering, see http://word.mvps.org/faqs/numbering/...artmethods.htm .. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Stephanie" wrote: Is there a way to stop Word from bogging down when using auto numbers?

I'll check out your links, but I do use styles. Read the posts I submitted
today. I liked it back in the day when you bought a program and you got a book. Now it costs almost as much as the program. :-( -- Steph "Stefan Blom" wrote: You will get more control over numbering if you set it up using styles.

Since you are using styles, does selecting the text and pressing Ctrl+Q (to
reset paragraph formatting) help at all? See also the following links: http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/sfpa...ttingPane.html http://word.mvps.org/faqs/formatting...eformatted.htm -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Stephanie" wrote in message ...
