Tables and Q&A Numbering
I have someone who wants a numbered Q&A dialogue typed into a Word table with
two columns. One column will have the numbers and one column will have the dialogue. How can I get the Q&A number section to be in a column separate from the dialogue? Example: Q1: This is the question? A1: This is the answer. Q2: Second question asked? A2: Second question answered. Right now I'm using two styles to automate the above numbering, but I can't get the table side working right. Every time I try to add a table the numbering is inside the cell with the dialogue. |

Tables and Q&A Numbering
Is there some reason you really need a table? Why not just ordinary numbered
paragraphs with a hanging indent? See http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/QandA.htm (Word 2003 and earlier) or http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/QandA2007.htm, as appropriate, for more on setting up the required styles, to which numbering could easily be added. -- Suzanne S.

Because the client insists on this format. I gave them the ordinary format
and they want the columns. Thanks "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Is there some reason you really need a table? Why not just ordinary numbered paragraphs with a hanging indent?

Tables and Q&A Numbering
Bummer. Well, the manual way to do this is to place a tab between the
autonumber and the text and then select and convert the lines to a table. If you used a two level outline/multilevel list linked to paragraph styles, a search for ^p and replace with ^p^t will place the tab after the autonumber and before the text. If you used other formatting, let us know. Pam Justlearning wrote: Because the client insists on this format. I gave them the ordinary format and they want the columns.
