Must use *NUM* fields instead of built-in numbering and struggling
For reasons that need not be explained I am not able to use the built in
numbering functionality to achieve my business result. My experience with auto numbering fields is limited to what I have been able to read on-line in the last few days. I have four level 1 items. Two of these have level 2 items, one of which also has level 4 items. I say level 4 because that is the display type I want to use. My problem is this level 4 needs to display level 2. 1. 2. a) b) (1) b) (2) c) 3. a) 4. It doesn't seem as if I can create a custom list format that LISTNUM can reference and it doesn't seem possible to do using AUTONUMLGL fields. Is it my lack of experience or intelligence that is keeping me from finding the solution or is there none? Thanks in advance for your help Numb Numbering Novice |

Don't know, but I would forget the LISTNUM and AUTONUM type fields and construct what you want using { SEQ } fields, which do not have the immediacy of those other field types (i.e. you may have to select fields and press F9 to see the results) and are more difficult to protect against accidental user behaviour, but e.g.... 1. 2. a) b) (1) b) (2) c) 3. a) 4. { QUOTE { SEQ level2 \r0 \h }{ SEQ level1 }. } { QUOTE { SEQ level2 \r0 \h }{ SEQ level1 }. } { QUOTE { SEQ level3 \r0 \h }{ SEQ level2 \*alphabetic }) } { QUOTE { SEQ level3 \r0 \h }{ SEQ level2 \*alphabetic } ({ SEQ level3 }) } { QUOTE { SEQ level3 \r0 \h }{ SEQ level2 \*alphabetic \c } ({ SEQ level3 }) } { QUOTE { SEQ level3 \r0 \h }{ SEQ level2 \*alphabetic }) } { QUOTE { SEQ level2 \r0 \h }{ SEQ level1 }. } { QUOTE { SEQ level3 \r0 \h }{ SEQ level2 \*alphabetic }) } { QUOTE { SEQ level2 \r0 \h }{ SEQ level1 }. } -- Peter Jamieson http://tips.pjmsn.me.uk "MiracleMaker" wrote in message ...
