Can a series of numbers be printed vertically?
Is there a quick way to get some otherwise-blank sheets of paper with the numbers 1 through 500 printed vertically in a column down the left-hand side, the numbers being underneath one another? (Using however many sheets it takes to accommodate all the numbers.) |

If you're willing to insert 500 empty paragraphs (which you'd pretty much
have to do regardless of how you attack this), you could use line numbering. On the Layout tab of Page Setup, click on Line Numbers..., choose to number every line and make the numbering continuous. Then, in your document, press Enter several times till you have a reasonable chunk of paragraphs (this will be easier to deal with if you have nonprinting characters displayed so you can see the paragraph marks). Select the half dozen or so paragraphs, Copy, and Paste. Then select all the paragraphs (the original ones plus the ones you just pasted) and Copy/Paste again. Once you've got a page-sized chunk, just F4 to repeat the paste as needed. Another approach is to use AutoFill in Excel to create 500 numbered cells and create a catalog/directory-type mail merge in Word, using the Excel file as the data source; although this is more automated, I suspect it would actually take longer to do. -- Suzanne S.

There's a site somewhere that plays games on finding the fewest possible
keystrokes/mousestrokes to create a given number of empty paragraphs -- 1. Ctrl-A, ctrl-C, ctrl-V; and repeat. 2. Use Find and Replace to find ^p and replace ^p^p -- click Replace All repeatedly 3. ... ? well, if you have nothing else to do on a wet Tuesday .... "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...

Yeah, it's the creation of all those empty paragraphs that would give me the
willies (the waste of it all!). -- Suzanne S.
