How do I insert numbers after text?
I would like to type in my text in a document and then insert a number, but I
want the number to change automatically for the next text. For example, I want to say, "Requested Charge No. 1", but I want to insert the number 1, so when I enter my next charge I can insert the number 2. -- Sherry Vinturella |

How do I insert numbers after text?
You can use SEQ fields. For example, { SEQ myseq } would produce a list of
Arabic numbers. To insert the field, you can press Ctrl+F9; Word adds field delimiters, { }, and then type the code as shown. To create additional fields, you can use copy and paste. Note that SEQ fields don't update automatically. To trigger an update, you can switch to Print Preview and then back to your favorite view. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP (Message posted via NNTP) "Sherry" wrote in message ...

How do I insert numbers after text?
Insert a SEQ field in each place where you want a number.
For the first one, use the Field dialog (in Word 2003 or earlier, Insert Field Seq or in Word 2007, Insert Quick Parts Field Seq). In the "Field codes" box in the upper right of the dialog, type in a name for your sequence -- this can be "charge" or just a single letter, but nothing with spaces or punctuation. (You need this because there can be multiple different series of SEQ fields, and the name distinguishes one series from another.) For the other numbers after the first one, you can just copy an existing field and paste it into the new location, or make it an AutoText or AutoCorrect entry. When you paste in a copy of the field, press F9 to update it to its new value, or right-click it and choose Update Field. Or you can press Ctrl+A to select everything and press F9, or just go to Print Preview and back. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
