How do I automatically number the rows in a Word 2003 table?
I have created a Word 2003 table to which I continue to add rows. I would
like to add a first column which would show the number of the row. I sometimes add a new row in the middle of the table instead of at the top or the bottom of the table. When I do so, I would like Word 2003 (XP) to automatically re-number the rows from 1 to X, with X begin the total number of rows. How can I accomplish this? I will appreciate advice. |

Caution: If you enter new table(s) and follow the above mentioned procedure, you cannot set the first table row number from one again. The first row of the new table will be incremented from the previous last row of the table. Challa Prabhu "Robert Judge" wrote: I have created a Word 2003 table to which I continue to add rows.
