custom paragraph numbering
I need help trying to set up a custom number for a patent document. The
numbering needs to be in [0001], [0002], [0003]. It needs to single level with a five space indent from the heading of the list. On the design new numbering format it wont let me make a custom one without one of the numbering formats included, like 01, 02, 03, and so on. I would like to have the numbering continue from 0001 up a number each paragraph so it does not have to be done manually... Is it possible to do this either with numbering, multilevel numbering or in the styles? This document is due in a few days and have alot of stuff that has to be listed in this format. Thanks, Tammy |

custom paragraph numbering
Use a SEQ field with the \# 0000 formatting switch
[{ SEQ Num \# 0000 }] In a paragraph set up with the indents and other features that you require and probably save it as an autotext or autocorrect item to facilitate its re-use. -- Hope this helps.

custom paragraph numbering
You lost me with the bit about the "five space indent from the heading of
the list" but if you meant that you wanted the paragraph to have a hanging indent format the paragraph with that indent and a tab stop in the appropriate place and insert the SEQ field, toggle off the display of the field codes and then press the tab key and you should see when you have the Show/hide (¶) button clicked. 0001[tabarrowsymbol]¶ Now select all of that and then from the Insert menu click on the Quick Parts pulldown and then on the "Save Selection to Quick Part Gallery" In the Create new Building Block dialog that appears, replace the 0001* that appears in the name control with np and then click on OK. Then whenever you want to create a new numbered paragraph, type np and then press the F3 key. -- Hope this helps.
