Number Misery from 2003 to 2007
As I work on 2003-created documents, the numbering goes haywire in 2007.
Examples: changes from alpha to numeric, if I "undo" or "reject change" the new alpha+number "gray out" and I can't select, reject, or click on the Numbers icon to turn numbers off. Generally I am able to backspace over it, but sometimes have to delete the sentence to re-type. About to lose the last of my graying hair here! Do I just need to re-type numbered 2003 text. Any HELP would be SO appreciated!! |

Number Misery from 2003 to 2007
Create numbering by using styles; that way, it should work properly. For
Word 2003, see http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/numb...Numbering.html. In Word 2007, you can do the following to create numbering: On the Home tab, click Multilevel List, and then click Define New Multilevel List. You are presented with a dialog box similar to the Customize Outline Numbered List of Word 97-2003. To edit a multilevel list in Word 2007 (as well as most lists created in older versions of the program), place the insertion point in the first level 1 paragraph (for heading numbering, this means the first Heading 1 paragraph of the document), and click Home tab | Multilevel List | Define New Multilevel List. If you choose to create a list style instead, you can edit it the way you edit any style (the easiest way will be via the Manage Styles dialog box). -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "2003_to_2007_or_bust" wrote in message ...
