I need to number a list starting at a different number than one. I have
quite a bit of text that goes in front of the number, such as: REQUEST FOR
RESPONSE TO INTERROGATORY NO.: ____. (The line being the auto number.) Does
anyone know of a work around for this. I have tried everything and it
appears that I have too much text. I would greatly appreciate an answer!
Thanks very much!

I know very little about your document but based on the sample text you
supplied, I think you could enter the text preceding the number as normal
text and then use a SEQ field for the number. If you add the \r switch to the
field code of the first field, you can force the SEQ field to start at the
number you wish. The field code for the first field could be e.g.:

{ SEQ No \r 100 }

which will insert the number 100. If the following fields have the field code:

{ SEQ No }

they will be numbered sequentially 101, 102, etc.

For further information about the SEQ field, see the Word help.
