Answer: How do I shuffle a numbered list in Word?
Great question! Here's how you can shuffle a numbered list in Word:
Your numbered list should now be shuffled! If you want to renumber the list, you can do so by selecting the entire list and clicking on the "Numbering" button in the ribbon.

You could do it with a dose of VBA, but it's simpler to copy the list into Excel, create a random seed in a new column, and order by that seed.

How do I shuffle a numbered list in Word?
If I understand correctly, you want to rearrange the list of terms & have
the numbering stay with the term. IOW, the numbers will *not* be in order after 'shuffling'. There are 2 options I can think of, both of which require that you *not* use the auto-numbering feature - it is a formatting tool, sequential by definition: 1- If you turn off automatic numbered lists you can assign any number as you type the term. You can then select any paragraph (number + term) and drag it to any other position in the list. 2- Use a 2-column table with the numbers in col. 1, the terms in col. 2 (turn off the borders if you don't want them to show). You can also rearrange the order of the rows as you prefer. Either option will also permit use of the TableSort feature for ascending or descending order based on the content of either column (field), but there is no built-in feature to 'randomize' the order... You'll have to do that yourself if that is what you're getting at.
