auto-numbering won't work
I'm using Word 2003, and have used auto-numbering successfully for years.
However, I seem to have broken it recently because if I hit enter to proceed with the next item on a numbered list, it does not default to a list entry (and I have to click on number and TAB multiple times to get to the right list level). I do have my AutoCorrect options set to apply numbered and bulleted lists as I type. I have a feeling I have messed up my normal template somehow. Is there any way to make this work, short of trying finding and installing a clean normal template? If not, how do I do that? Thanks! |

Check the "Style for following paragraph" for the paragraph style you are
using. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "cathyj" wrote in message ... I'm using Word 2003, and have used auto-numbering successfully for years.

Thanks Stefan, that actually worked.
My next question would be - why wouldn't I have ever had to do that before (it seemed to break halfway thru this doc I'm writing)? Could it be because I have my outline number styles defined as headers? Thanks again!

All Heading styles have Normal defined as the following paragraph style, so
if you're using the built-in heading styles, then yes, that's the issue. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "cathyj" wrote in message ...
