Numbered table
I am trying to create a document as follows:
Heading (in Centre of page) I then want to insert a table for members of a club to sign the printed document, i.e. No. Name No. Name 1. 13. 2. 14. (to 24) 3. 4. (to 12) I then have to create the second page with the numbers 25-48. I have made a Seq number but when I try to get the 13 into the second No., (3rd column), it wont' work. I have tried inserting a continuous section break and formatting the columns 2 each side but I can't get this to work. When I get to 12. and insert a column break, I can't get to the top of the next column. Not sure I've made it very clear but perhaps someone can point me in the right direction. I have tried the Help files but I get info about Compatibility and don't know if that is relevant. TIA |

Numbered table
Word 2003 (or prior) otherwise usual tools on Ribbon 2007
NB: SEQ's should work sane way - I didn't check. On active document template screen with autonumbering outline level 1 (say) set with no tab character. Then insert a 2 column 2 row table. Mark Row1 Header Row (select row and menu Table Header Row) Press ALT 1 (it should play your Outline Level 1 numbering style) Number Name 1. Tab Tab (new rows will number automatically on creation (11 times) or copy/paste 2. 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 Type some names as long as you need so columns are correct size) Then Tables Table Properties Options Uncheck "Resize automatically" You now have a 2column table/1 hdr row/1.-12 1st column Names 2nd col almost halfway across your page(width but a little less) (you are going to paste the table side x side (read on): Go to menu Table Properties Alignment Left Around Select your 2 column table with auto Outline level numbering Copy table Click inside paragraph return (pilcrow) on right side of 1st table CTRL V paste table You now have 2 separate tables 1-12 and 13-24 CTRL A (SELECT all) or just select both tables (side x side) CTRL C (copy) CTRL End (goto end of page insert next page or page break or use page break before CTRL V (paste) Now you have 25-36 and 37-?? Hope this helps. "ariana" wrote in message ...

Numbered table
1. Press Enter twice after your centered heading to insert two empty
paragraphs. 2. Select the first of the two paragraphs and go to Format | Columns and select Two or 2. 3. In the first column, insert a two-column table with as many rows as desired (you can always add more later) 4. Select the first column and click on the Numbering button; select the first cell and turn off the numbering so that the heading row isn't numbered. 5. Enter your headings in row 1 and mark the row as a heading row. 6. If the table doesn't break to the next column at row 13 (assuming row 1 for the heading row), you can select rows 14-? and format them as "Keep with next" to force them to the next column. Alternatively, set an exact row height that allows for exactly 13 rows on the page (your headings will be repeated in the second column). 7. Continue to add rows to the table till it flows to the next page and continue from there. -- Suzanne S.
