Go to specific line in numbered list?
Hey all,
I have a question that will hopefully save me a lot of time! I'm working on my dissertation, and my data (transcription of speech) is formatted in a very long numbered list. The thing is that there are often more than one actual lines per list item, like so: 1) ____________________________________ _______________________________________ ____________ 2) ____________________________________ ______________________________________ etc. What I have been trying to figure out is a way to jump to a specific *list number*, rather than actual line number. I have a list of line numbers where I want to put bookmarks, and it would be great to able to jump to that list item rather than scroll down. Like for instance, say I want to insert a bookmark in list item 2), I could use the 'goto' command to go to line 2, but that would actually be 2 lines above it. The number of lines per each list item varies, so imagine trying to figure out what the actual line number is 50-100 times per document! From what I've seen playing with the Goto command though (CTRL-G), although you can go to a specific line, I don't see any way to go to a list #. Is there any way of using find/replace or goto or something else to go to list item numbers rather than line numbers? |

Is the numbering of the list automatic, or is it typed in front of
each item? Are the lines under each number actual lines, created with returns or line breaks, or are they simply wrapped paragraphs? Your version of Word is also relevant to paragraph numbering.

Assuming you used list numbering to create the list and the list is
the first list in the document you could use: Sub ScratchMaco() Dim i As Long i = InputBox("Enter list number you want to goto") ActiveDocument.Lists(1).ListParagraphs(i).Range.Se lect Selection.Collapse wdCollapseStart End Sub On Jan 15, 3:44*pm, Enjoju wrote: Hey all, I have a question that will hopefully save me a lot of time! *I'm working on my dissertation, and my data (transcription of speech) is formatted in a very long numbered list. *The thing is that there are often more than one actual lines per list item, like so: 1) ____________________________________ _______________________________________ ____________ 2) ____________________________________ ______________________________________ etc. What I have been trying to figure out is a way to jump to a specific *list number*, rather than actual line number. *I have a list of line numbers where I want to put bookmarks, and it would be great to able to jump to that list item rather than scroll down.
