How to create number style format in 100, 110, 120 ...
Thank you for the feedback. Using a numbered style is easier, of
course, since numbering will update automatically. Note, however, that the style solution is less generic than the SEQ field solution. The former makes use of the fact that the decimal number system is based on the number 10: We are actually using the sequence 10, 11, 12, 13, etc. of paragraph numbers, multiplying each number with 10 (which is accomplished by adding zero to the right in the decimal number system). If you ever need some other unusual numbering scheme, SEQ fields will be the only way to do it. In this particular case there is no need to rely on SEQ fields, though, since what you require can be accomplished with Cooz' solution. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Stephen Lim" wrote in message ...

Both is working great for me, eventhough I still need more time to explore the "SEQ tryout" function, which is relatively very new to me. Nevetheless, thanks a lot.

This style starts numbering at 10 instead of 100 - if you cannot live with that, insert nine alineas with this style and give them hidden format. Perhaps this is somewhat clumsy, but it works. Clever idea! But instead of inserting hidden paragraphs to get numbering to start at 100, why not just set the "Start at" number to 10? -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP Good luck, Cooz -- PS: If this is a satisfying answer to your question and you're logged in via the Microsoft site, please click Yes to "Did this post answer the question?".
