Default 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.

Hi Cooz & Stefan,

Thanks for contributing your solutions to my problem.

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.


Cheers

Hi Stephen,

In the New Style dialog box, select Format | Numbering... |

tab
Numbered.
Select the second box, or in any case the one that shows 1.

.... 2.
.... 3.
... If a box like this is not visible, select the second box

and
click Reset.
Click Customize...
In the textbox under Number format, type a 0 between the 1 and

the .
Click OK, and click OK.

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?
