If the numbers are part of the same list, they are always going to
number across, then down. You can achieve separate lists using SEQ
fields (with different identifiers), but if you want the list to be
continuous, you'd have to set a start value for each column.

Alternatively, if the table can be configured as a single column,
then you can put the table itself into snaking (newspaper-style)
columns, and the numbering will then follow the desired sequence.

Your last suggestion sounds like the easiest to implement.

Thanks.

P.S. If anyone at Microsoft is listening the option to number across
or down should be implemented. You'd think that down would be default
as that is how lists are numbered--down one column and then across
and down the next column.
