Auto-numbering keeps goofing up
Thank you, Suzanne.
I think Chuck Henrich and Anne Troy have taken care of me, but I appreciate your response. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ... First of all, make sure that you have set up your numbering following the instructions in http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/numb...Numbering.html. You will need, at minimum, a Question style (Level 1), an Answer style (Level 2), and a style for unnumbered text (you can use Normal or Body Text). Define the Question style such that the Answer style is the "Style for following paragraph," and assign it a keyboard shortcut so that you can resume the question numbering after typing your multiple-choice answers. Alternatively, you can use Word's built-in keyboard shortcuts to promote/demote items in the list. -- Suzanne S.

"Gary Burton" wrote in message ... I am creating a long numbered list of questions for my students. I must use auto-numbering because I add and delete questions as well as moving them around. I type up the questions using auto-numbering as follows: 1. Question 1 a. Answer 1 b. Answer 2 c. Answer 3 2. Question 2 a. Answer 4 b. Answer 5 3. Question 3 (draw a picture) 4. Question 4 (fill in the blank) Then I sometimes need to do a paragraph formating operation. When I do, the whole system gets messed up as follows: 1. 2. Question 1 a. Answer 1 b. Answer 2 c. Answer 3 d. 3. Question 2 a. Answer 4 b. Answer 5 c. 4. Question 3 (draw a picture) 5. 6. 7. 8. Question 4 (fill in the blank) 9. I have tried everything I can think of, including reading all the posting on these two newsgroups; but I have not found a solution. I have looked at all the choices in "paragraph formating" and in "bullets and numbering" and tried many of the options. I can manually correct each question using the backspace key, but we are talking about a whole homework book with hundreds of questions in it and this thing happens all too often. Please help!!!! -- Gary Burton |
