automatic numbering
How is it messed up? Was it a Word document that was e-mailed to you? Which
version of Word are you using? -- Carol A. Bratt, MCP "Shellie" wrote: I have a document that was emailed to me and the automatic numbering is messed up. How do I fix it? |

automatic numbering
It is a Word document and we use Word XP for small business. I'll try my
best to explain. Some of the document still has automatic numbering in place and some of the document has lost the automatic numbering therefore throwing the part that is automatically numbered off. This is what I'm having a fit trying to fix. Any help would be appreciated. Shellie "Carol" wrote: How is it messed up? Was it a Word document that was e-mailed to you?

automatic numbering
You say that part of the document doesn't have automatic numbering. Has
numbering been keyed in in that part of the document? Are you sure that is's not all automatic numbering? Try this. Highlight one of the automatic numbers and copy it and then paste it at the beginning of the paragraphs you want numbered. Then click on F9 and see if it doesn't update for you. -- Carol A.

automatic numbering
You may have to start from scratch. Numbering is very easy to mess up and
quickly becomes what has been described as "spaghetti numbering." You can fix the document and return it to the sender close to bullet-proof. See: How to create numbered headings or outline numbering in your Word document http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/numb...Numbering.html. (For bullets see http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/bull...olbullets.html, the subject is related.) This is based on ... Word's Numbering Explained http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/Number...gExplained.htm Additional information you may find useful or need is at: How to Create a Template, Part II http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/Custom...platePart2.htm -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/ which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.
