Word 2007: Auto-numbering, how to set a start number other than 1
I am not clear what exactly you have inserted from Quickparts, but automatic
paragraph numbering formats can usually be restarted from any number. Right click the paragraph and select 'Set Numbering Value'. ListNum fields can be started or restarted from any number using a switch eg { LISTNUM LegalDefault \s 45 } { LISTNUM LegalDefault} { LISTNUM LegalDefault } { LISTNUM LegalDefault \s 50 } { LISTNUM LegalDefault } { LISTNUM LegalDefault } SEQ fields are similar and as Suzanne suggests SEQ fields are very useful as you can not only dictate the start number but you can have any number of sequences. The fact that they do not automatically update if you make changes is of minor consequence. You could easily force an update e.g. CTRL+A then F9 or by using a macro from a button on the QAT (Quick Access Toolbar) . See http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm for example code. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org wordperfect fan wrote: Word 2007 This is a legal pleading & the format is "Response to Special Rog [#] I'm auto-numbering using Quickparts - Fields. Now my requests have jumped from 42 to 45. Unfortunately there does not seem to be any way to reset the starting number to 45. BTW: I received a doc the other day which appeared to have auto numbering in it - using some extremely complicated set up that in fact, didn't actually work. It inserted the same code every time & you had to manually update the field every time so... not really auto-numbering at all, unfortunately. |
