auto numbering in a table
I have a table with a column using auto numbering for itentification
purposes. Now I want to sort it, having the numbers stay the same but I want to turn off the auto numbering. When I do the numbers go away. Anyway to do this? |

auto numbering in a table
You can convert numbers to text. Select the relevant column and then do the
following: Press Alt+F11 to display the Visual Basic Editor. Press Ctrl+G to activate the Immediate window. Type Selection.Range.ListFormat.convertnumberstotext and press Enter. Numbering will be removed from the selected column. (Note that if numbering was applied via a style, you should also clear the numbering from the style definition.) You can now sort the table without any renumbering taking place. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Seapeace" wrote in message news I have a table with a column using auto numbering for itentification purposes.
