Numbering of articles
Hi there,
I'm revising the by-laws of the organization that I work for, and I am looking for a numbering system that can apply throughout the 143pg document. There are nearly 200 "articles", and at present they are numbered 1-200 manually. However, if an additional article needs to be added, say between articles 40 and 41, it is too tedious to redo the numbering from that point on. So I need something that will go as follows: Article 1 Article 2 Article 3 .... Article 200 where if I were to add an additonal article, Word would automatically "shift" the rest down: Article 1 Article 2 Article 3 .... Article 40 Article 41 Article 42 .... Article 201 If anyone knows how to do this I'd be very appreciative! Thanks. |

Numbering of articles
You can use auto numbering to do this. You haven't said what version of Word
you're using, but if it's Word 2003 or earlier, go to Format | Bullets and Numbering, choose Outline Numbered, select the gallery picture that begins with "Article I," and click Customize. In the Customize Outline Numbered List dialog, change the "Number style" form I, II, III,... to 1, 2, 3, ... Click More to expand the dialog and make any other desired changes. If you're using Heading 1 for your heading paragraphs, then it is already linked to this level; if not, either change the linked style to the one you're using or (better) apply Heading 1 to those paragraphs. In Word 2007 the process is similar except that you start with "Define New Multilevel List." -- Suzanne S.
