Labled numbered list
I am preparing a directives template. Each directive will have at
least one reference so I have prepared a boiler plate line: Ref: (a) "Click here to add referenence name" The click here bit is just a MacroButton {MacroButton NoMacro "Click ....."} The paragraph has a style applied with a following style set as numbered and starting with b. So after the user enters the first reference and presses enter the following is produced: Ref: (a) Whatever was entered. (b) Cursor blinking here. If it where just me, this would be good enough I think. Well, it isn't just me so the possibility exists that a user would delete the first reference line. So I added an AutoText entry (complete with a toolbar button) to reapply the first reference line. I am rambling. What I am really inquirying about is a standard for doing this sort of thing. There are other of examples in everyday documents where numbered lists are set up this way: Encl: (1) (2) Appendix A B etc. The style separator in Word2003 seems to work, but the hidden paragraph method in earlier versions hides the first number. I thought a two column borderless table might be an idea, but having to mouse click out of the table when all the list items are completed was awkward. Just looking for ideas. Thanks. |

Labled numbered list
Hi Greg
This is not a layout style I see very often these days, though it was common in the typewriter era. I wouldn't recommend using paragraph numbering for this layout. It's classic work for a LISTNUM field. Hope this helps. Shauna Kelly. Microsoft MVP. http://www.shaunakelly.com/word "Greg" wrote in message oups.com... I am preparing a directives template.
