Word 2007: Multi-level lists
Howdy:
I'm numbering the appendices using a multi-level list. The first level uses Alphas where the number of appendices goes beyond Z i.e. A B C .... X Y Z AA BB CC ... ZZ Is there any way that I can change the format so that when the list reaches Z, the numbering continues as follows: A B C ... X Y Z AA AB AC ... Thanks, -- Kim |

To add to what Doug has said, note that SEQ fields don't update automatically. You can force an update by switching to Print Preview and then back to your favorite view (use Ctrl+F2 as a toggle). Also, you can explicitly update the fields in the selection by pressing F9.

Many thanks for your responses. Methinks I may have bitten off more than I can chew! I now have the code (thanks to you) ... question is, where do I put it?

Word 2007: Multi-level lists
To enter field codes in your document, first press Ctrl+F9 to insert field
delimiters, { }, and then type the code (note that you cannot type the braces from the keyboard). Press F9 to update. Use Alt+F9 to show/hide field codes. To duplicate a certain field code, you can use copy and paste (be sure to update it, for example by toggling Print Preview). -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Kim in Melb" wrote in message ...

Word 2007: Multi-level lists
Hi Stefan:
Thanks for that but I still need to delve a little further. My mutli list is linked to styles so that it's completely automatic - I haven't used bookmarks or anything else that an author needs to add in as you go. The reason for this is that the mutli list is in a template which will be used by hundreds of people with varying degree of Word skill. Therefore, I'm still confused as to where in the document I need to add these fields i.e. do I go into developer and add the field in there or do I add the field next to each multi-list entry?

Word 2007: Multi-level lists
I have tried the field construction on Cindy's site, but must admit that I
cannot get it to work. So, instead of trying to figure out why, I decided it would be easier to create a macro to apply such numbering to all of the paragraphs that were selected, which is what the following will do: Dim i As Long With Selection For i = 1 To .Paragraphs.Count .Paragraphs(i).LeftIndent = InchesToPoints(0.5) .Paragraphs(i).FirstLineIndent = -InchesToPoints(0.5) If i 27 Then .Paragraphs(i).Range.InsertBefore Chr(64 + i) & vbTab ElseIf i Mod 26 = 0 Then .Paragraphs(i).Range.InsertBefore Chr(Int(i / 26) - 1 + 64) & Chr(64 + 26) & vbTab Else .Paragraphs(i).Range.InsertBefore Chr(Int(i / 26) + 64) & Chr((i Mod 26) + 64) & vbTab End If Next i End With it also formats the paragraphs with a left indent of 0.5" and a hanging indent of -0.5" and inserts a tab space after the paragraph "number" See the article "What do I do with macros sent to me by other newsgroup readers to help me out?€ at: http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Macros...eateAMacro.htm -- Hope this helps.

Word 2007: Multi-level lists
I have tried the field construction on Cindy's site, but must admit that I cannot get it to work. So, instead of trying to figure out why, I decided it would be easier to create a macro to apply such numbering to all of the paragraphs that were selected, which is what the following will do: Dim i As Long With Selection For i = 1 To .Paragraphs.Count .Paragraphs(i).LeftIndent = InchesToPoints(0.5) .Paragraphs(i).FirstLineIndent = -InchesToPoints(0.5) If i 27 Then .Paragraphs(i).Range.InsertBefore Chr(64 + i) & vbTab ElseIf i Mod 26 = 0 Then .Paragraphs(i).Range.InsertBefore Chr(Int(i / 26) - 1 + 64) & Chr(64 + 26) & vbTab Else .Paragraphs(i).Range.InsertBefore Chr(Int(i / 26) + 64) & Chr((i Mod 26) + 64) & vbTab End If Next i End With it also formats the paragraphs with a left indent of 0.5" and a hanging indent of -0.5" and inserts a tab space after the paragraph "number" See the article "What do I do with macros sent to me by other newsgroup readers to help me out?€ at: http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Macros...eateAMacro.htm -- Hope this helps.

Thanks Doug and Stefn. I'll think I'll stick with the auto numbering offered
by Word for this template however the macro will come in handy for other pieces of work - I appreciate your help.
