Problems with numbering INSIDE OF paragraph text
I want to be able to number within a paragraph, using either numbers or
letters without a trailing period or any other type of separator. I found information that doing this requires the use of the AutoNumLgl field and using the /e switch to eliminate the period. However, whenever I do that, the end result is something that looks like the following (the problem is inside of the quotations - in other words, it gives me three periods/spaces prior to the capital letter A, which is all I'm looking for in the automatic numbering): This section is titled ". . . A" Pricing Information. What it should look like is: This section is titled A: Pricing Information. (Understand that I could/would manually type in the colon.) In other words, what I'm trying to automatically number is the "A:" part of the sentence. I can get text that says "A." but when I do the "/e" switch to eliminate the trailing period, what I get is " . . . A" instead of "A" |

Problems with numbering INSIDE OF paragraph text
Would it work to use a SEQ field instead?

Or if this is a multilevel/outline-numbered list, you can use a LISTNUM
field. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ... Would it work to use a SEQ field instead? -- Suzanne S.

Problems with numbering INSIDE OF paragraph text
I'm not sure because I don't know about the SEQ field.
What I'm trying to do is the following - where the words "text" are just the random text I would have with the A: Summary and B: Overview interspersed within the text and the numbering being automatic: Text text text text A: Summary text text text text B: Overview text text. I hope that clarifies a little better. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Would it work to use a SEQ field instead? -- Suzanne S.

Problems with numbering INSIDE OF paragraph text
I don't think that would work because I need text to precede the
numbering/title and text to follow - in paragraph format.

Have you tried looking in the Help file for the topic on SEQ fields?

Problems with numbering INSIDE OF paragraph text
If all numbering belongs to one and the same outline-numbered list, a
LISTNUM field (without a list name) should work. For example: 1 Heading 1 Some text here 1.1 Heading 2 Ordinary text. { LISTNUM \l 3 } would display as: 1 Heading 1 Some text here 1.1 Heading 2 Ordinary text. 1.1.1 You can insert the field and specify its level via Insert | Field (Word 2003) or Insert tab | Quick Parts | Field (Word 2007). To change the level of an existing field, you can right-click it and choose Increase Indent (or Decrease Indent) from the context menu. To show/hide field codes, use Alt+F9. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "KimB64" wrote in message ...
