Updating numbers on paragraphs
I have numbered paragraphs. I wish to change (update) the corresponding
numbers of each paragraph when new paragraphs are inserted. That is, if I have 100 numbered paragraphs, and I then insert 5 additional paragraphs in between the document, I would like to update the numbers of all the other paragraphs that follow the new inserted paragraphs. I would appreciate any assistance. |

Yes. I have tried out numbering and it does not produce what I need. The
first paragraph begins with [0001] up to [0088] the numbers are placed within the brackets. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Have you tried using auto numbering? -- Suzanne S.

For this you can use SEQ fields with a formatting switch to supply the
leading zeroes. For example: [{ SEQ para \# 000# }] SEQ fields do not update automatically but will update when you select the document and press F9 or when you print or Print Preview. -- Suzanne S.

1. Press Ctrl+F9 and type SEQ para \# 000# between the braces, then add
brackets around the field, OR 2. Type SEQ para \# 000#, select it, and press Ctrl+F9, OR 3. Use Insert | Field, selecting a name (it doesn't have to be "para") for the sequence identifier, and using the Options to insert the numeric picture switch. That particular one is not listed, but you can insert any switch and then modify it. -- Suzanne S.

I am using Word, however, as soon as I press Ctrl + F9 I get a dialog box
which states: Help For WordPerfect Users and a list of commad keys. I am not sure what to do once this dialog box appears. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: 1.
