Q re numbering using Styles and Formatting
I don't think this is possible but I'm going to ask anyway!
I have Word 2003 and I'm formatting an exam document with specific numbering requirements. I would like to be able to set up a Numbering Style/heirarchy to look like this: 1 (a) How many sides in a rectangle? (b) How many sides in a triangle? (i) What is the name of a triangle with bla? (ii) Why is the bla bla? (c) How many bla bla? Is this possible? I have looked at Word and it looks almost possible with Outline Numbering but it seems like I would need to place "(a)" on the next line below "1" (I am not permitted to set out the document this way). I am currently forced to set tabs for much of this document and this is unsatisfactory as I'm expecting many more similar documents to format! I hope someone can help prevent some extra work for me... :-) Thanks |

Q re numbering using Styles and Formatting
You can set up an outline-numbered list (as described at
http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/numb...Numbering.hmtl) and then use a LISTNUM field to insert a second number within a paragraph (such as "(a)" in your example). To insert the LISTNUM, you can use Insert | Field; be sure to specify the level but no name for the list. Alternatively, you can add the LISTNUM field manually: Press Ctrl+F9. Word inserts field delimiters, { }. Type LISTNUM \l 2 between the delimiters, and press F9 to show the result. Note that you can create more LISTNUM fields via copy and paste. To change the numbering level of an existing field, you can right-click it and choose Increase Indent or Decrease Indent from the context menu. To show/hide field codes in a document, use Alt+F9. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "faerie_bel" wrote in message news I don't think this is possible but I'm going to ask anyway!
