Numbering within Document
Hello All,
I am in need of assistance, I was wondering if anyone knew if you could have automatic numbering within your paragraphs for example: 1. blah blah blah as referred to in Exhbit A and Exhibit B. (A and B would be numbered so that if the exhibits were moved around they would automatically change). Hopefully I am being clear enough. |

Provided Exhibit A and B have been numbered using caption labels or using
autonumbering you can refer to them using Insert References Cross reference. Is that what you mean? -- Margaret Aldis - Microsoft Word MVP Syntagma partnership site: http://www.syntagma.co.uk Word MVP FAQ site: http://www.word.mvps.org "LeiLani" wrote in message ...

Hi Margaret,
Thank you for your response that is not exactly what I mean. There are no attachments to the document. The document is 100 pages long and I have upto Exhibit ZZ and plan on moving them around but do not want to have to renumber all of the text. I want to be able to cut and paste and have the Exhibit Letter update automatically. I tried using the Caption as I already have numbering in my document for each paragraph. I changed the formatting of my numbered paragraph but once I used my format painter and reapplied the style it fixed itself. Is there an easier way or a way I can create a shortcut for the caption? -- Thank you in advance, LeiLani "Margaret Aldis" wrote: Provided Exhibit A and B have been numbered using caption labels or using autonumbering you can refer to them using Insert References Cross reference.

To clarify, are you using the Insert | Reference | Caption feature to insert
your captions? If so, then you should be able to use Insert | Reference | Cross-reference to cross-reference them. -- Suzanne S.

Hi Everyone,
I don't think I was being clear or else I am not understanding so I am going to attach an example. Attached hereto and marked as Exhibit D to this Affidavit are true copies of extracts from the Examination for Discovery of [name] in Action No. S[action number], held on February 25, 2004. The above paragraph is from my document, I want to make the "D" in Exhibit "D" number automatically so that when I decide to move my paragraphs around it automatically changes to the next correct letter. (i.e. If I move my paragraph to where Exhibit H is, it becomes Exhibit and the old Exhibit H become Exhibit "I"). The Exhibits are not in the document they are actual documents that are attached when the document is complete. I hope I made more sense this time. -- Thank you in advance, LeiLani "Suzanne S.

OK, now we're getting somewhere. You're looking for a sequential number to
appear within the paragraph - the number comes from the seqential position, not picked up from the thing being referred. You can either use a SEQ field or a LISTNUM field to do this - see help for details.The SEQ field is probably more reliable because all the details about the numbering format are held in the field itself - but you'll need to update fields to see the number update after a move. LISTNUMs automatically update, but they refer to numbering set up and named using Format Bullets and Numbering which is trickier to get right. Once you have the field (and numbering format, for a named LISTNUM) set up, store the field as AutoText (in fact, store the whole reference "Exhibit {field} ") so you can insert it quickly and easily where you want it. -- Margaret Aldis - Microsoft Word MVP Syntagma partnership site: http://www.syntagma.co.uk Word MVP FAQ site: http://www.word.mvps.org "LeiLani" wrote in message ...

Hi Margaret,
That is great, we are definately getting somewhere, now I need to ask how to set up the SEQ. I went to insert - field - numbering - SEQ - options - A,B,C - add to field and then OK. The response I received was "Error! No sequence specified". I should also mention that I am working in Word 97 (I know wrong - but it is what work provides). -- Thank you in advance, LeiLani "Margaret Aldis" wrote: OK, now we're getting somewhere.

You have to specify an identifier for the sequence. It can be anything, but
in this case it would make sense to call it Exhibit. So your SEQ field will be: { SEQ Exhibit \* ALPHABETIC } -- Suzanne S.

You're looking for a sequential number to appear within the paragraph - the number comes from the seqential position, not picked up from the thing being referred. You can either use a SEQ field or a LISTNUM field to do this - see help for details.The SEQ field is probably more reliable because all the details about the numbering format are held in the field itself - but you'll need to update fields to see the number update after a move. LISTNUMs automatically update, but they refer to numbering set up and named using Format Bullets and Numbering which is trickier to get right. Once you have the field (and numbering format, for a named LISTNUM) set up, store the field as AutoText (in fact, store the whole reference "Exhibit {field} ") so you can insert it quickly and easily where you want it. -- Margaret Aldis - Microsoft Word MVP Syntagma partnership site: http://www.syntagma.co.uk Word MVP FAQ site: http://www.word.mvps.org "LeiLani" wrote in message ... Hi Everyone, I don't think I was being clear or else I am not understanding so I am going to attach an example. Attached hereto and marked as Exhibit "D" to this Affidavit are true copies of extracts from the Examination for Discovery of [name] in Action No. S[action number], held on February 25, 2004. The above paragraph is from my document, I want to make the "D" in Exhibit "D" number automatically so that when I decide to move my paragraphs around it automatically changes to the next correct letter. (i.e. If I move my paragraph to where Exhibit H is, it becomes Exhibit and the old Exhibit H become Exhibit "I"). The Exhibits are not in the document they are actual documents that are attached when the document is complete. I hope I made more sense this time. -- Thank you in advance, LeiLani "Suzanne S.

Hi Margaret,Thank you for your response that is not exactly what I mean. There are no attachments to the document. The document is 100 pages long and I have upto Exhibit ZZ and plan on moving them around but do not want to have to renumber all of the text. I want to be able to cut and paste and have the Exhibit Letter update automatically. I tried using the Caption as I already have numbering in my document for each paragraph. I changed the formatting of my numbered paragraph but once I used my format painter and reapplied the style it fixed itself. Is there an easier way or a way I can create a shortcut for the caption? -- Thank you in advance, LeiLani "Margaret Aldis" wrote: Provided Exhibit A and B have been numbered using caption labels or using autonumbering you can refer to them using Insert References Cross reference. Is that what you mean? -- Margaret Aldis - Microsoft Word MVP Syntagma partnership site: http://www.syntagma.co.uk Word MVP FAQ site: http://www.word.mvps.org "LeiLani" wrote in message ... Hello All, I am in need of assistance, I was wondering if anyone knew if you could have automatic numbering within your paragraphs for example: 1. blah blah blah as referred to in Exhbit A and Exhibit B. (A and B would be numbered so that if the exhibits were moved around they would automatically change). Hopefully I am being clear enough. |
