Default Auto Number

Thank you - I just did what you suggested and it works, although I need the
two leading zeros in front of the numbers. Example: 00843, 00844, etc.
In the "Customize Numbered List" when I enter "00843" to start at that
number, it removes the leading zeros.
HELP!

The simplest way - leave the column blank, select it, and click on the
numbering button - yes just like bullets - and then format the numbers to
start at what you want - once set it will be automatically included on added
rows. Of course, using a proper numbered style would be a lot better.

How can I apply numbering? Do you mean like bullet points? These numbers
are in tables. Don't you have to hit the enter key in this case in order

for
the number to advance to the next number?
Thank you, Karen

Can you not just apply numbering to the column, starting at 800?

I have a table that has a column of numbers. The first cell in the

column
starts with 0800. In the cells below that I want the numbers to run

in
sequence. ex: 0801, 0802, 0803, etc. Is there a way of just typing

0800
in
the first cell and placing a formula in the cells below so the numbers
auto
populate? Or something similiar to the fill handle in Excel.

Thank you
