spacing ???
This may have been ask before but need answer stat. My wife is pulling her hair. She made an outline for a small booklet using roman numerals. She is trying to change the outline and insert a new line without a number. Can't get it to take without number added and tab spacing. example: Chapter 1. I. start II. review III. sample (**) IV. title V. end She needs to insert "Chapter II" between III. & IV and redo numbering. When she types Chapter II (**) and hits "enter", Chapter II is not spaced to far left and number are added and others are moved down. Hope this explains what the problem is. Know this is quick and dirty but she's at a standstill. thanks, L. |

There are various ways to do that.
With non-printing characters showing, navigate to the end of the line just before you want to insert the new material. Copy the pilcrow (or alinea) and then paste it. Next, assure that the cursor is positioned to the immediate left of the marker, type the new text. It's a method that falls under the description of "quick and dirty" but its quick if you don't have to make to many such adjustments. One alternative is to remove the outline formatting, type the new material and then re-apply the formatting. Others might have better suggestions.

I don't understand what your wife is doing. Does she want Chapter 2 (not II)
and for the numbering of the outline following it to restart? Or does she want Chapter 2 (not II) and for the roman numbering to continue? Or does she want an unnumbered paragraph (not a chapter number at all) between II and III? Or what? -- Suzanne S.

Upon re-reading, I think I misunderstood the formatting your wife
wanted. The method I suggested will cause the new entry to have the same formatting as the sub-heads in your illustration. Now, I think you want the new text to be formatted just as Chapter l is in your example text. For that, copy the pilcrow from the first paragraph. "Tom Ferguson" wrote in message ...

Sorry for the confusion and also the help.
After getting a cup of coffee and 'settling" down, , she/we got into help menu and figured it out. We also learned about using "Format - Bullets and Numbering--" to set up a design she wanted. again thanks, L. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ... I don't understand what your wife is doing.

Instead of applying numbering directly, if she is really trying to set up an
outline-numbering scheme, direct her to http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/numb...Numbering.html and tell her to follow it carefully. -- Suzanne S.
