Can I automagically number lines in a table in Word 2003?
I am working on a table showing the membership
list of an organization. I would like to have the first column contain a line number, and to have it automatically adjust as members are added or deleted. Seems simple enough, and seems as if it's something a lot of users might want to do; but I haven't found anything in the online help files that tells me how I can do that. I've tried a few things (such as { =COUNT(a:a) }, properly inserted via Table | Formula) with no success. If someone knows how to accomplish this in Word 2003, please post the trick for us. Thanks in advance. -- Jeffrey J. Sargent |

Addendum to my previous post: Only after
I made it did I notice that another group, microsoft.public.word.tables, existed, and that a similar question had recently been asked and answered there. However, I would still appreciate it if anyone could tell me if there is a quick way to have a table column automatically contain a line number, with no period, right-justified, without having to tediously click the "Align Right" button on the formatting toolbar and enter Insert | Field | AUTONUMLGL on every line. (This is especially of interest since AUTONUMLGL is deprecated, provided only for compatibility with previous versions, but there seems no other way to prevent insertion of a period after the number. I wish to have a means of accomplishing what I want that will be valid for years to come, if Microsoft doesn't mess things up.) -- Jeffrey J. Sargent |

Automagically? I like that term!
