Skip Numbering Command
When you "skíp numbers" in the Set Numbering Value dialog box, Word just
seems to insert the number of paragraphs so that the specified number is displayed at the insertion point. It does seem a bit strange, but I think this is the way it is supposed to work. Read also the following from Word Help: ********************* Advance the numbering manually in a list Certain numbered lists - for example, legal lists - require the ability to change a number manually and for Word to correctly change the numbers that follow. You can use the Set Numbering Value option to change a number manually while Word renumbers the list that follows. 1. Right-click the number in the list that you want to change. 2. Click Set Numbering Value and then do one of the following: a. Click Start new list and change the value of the selected number in the Set value to box. b. Click Continue from previous list, select the Advance value (skip numbers) check box, and then change the value of the selected number in the Set value to box that corresponds to the level of the number that you selected. ********************* -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Paul Gauci" wrote in message ...

Skip Numbering Command
Which command are you referring to, exactly? I assumed you meant the radio
button in the Set Numbering Value dialog box, which you can open by right-clicking a numbered list and choosing Set Numbering Value from the context menu. Note that if you are trying to "turn off" numbering, pressing Ctrl+Shift+N (to reapply the Normal style) should do the trick. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Paul Gauci" wrote in message ...

Skip Numbering Command
I am refering to one of the many [highly confusing] green-button icons, which
is not in the Ribbon but can be inserted in the Quick Access Toolbar, that should enable the user to remove a number/bullet or numbers/bullets in a numbered/bulleted List, while retaining the same alignment of the numbered/bulletted paragraphs in the List. I also have another question regarding Lists. What has happend in Word 2007 to the capability in the Format Bullets and Numbering command which permitted (in Word 2003 and earlier versions) the alingnment of bulleted/numbered paragraphs? -- Paul Gauci "Stefan Blom" wrote: Which command are you referring to, exactly?

Skip Numbering Command
In general, it is more reliable to use specific numbered/bulleted styles
(such as List Bullet and List Number) for numbered paragraphs and the corresponding List Continue style (indented but not bulleted or numbered) for the continuation paragraphs. -- Suzanne S.
