Auto Number
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 |

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

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?

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. -- Enjoy, Tony "Karen" wrote in message ... How can I apply numbering? Do you mean like bullet points? These numbers are in tables.

Thank you for your help - Are these the step-by-step instructions?
I press CTRL+F9 to enter the field code delimiters Type SEQ MySeq r\ 0800 \# 0### in between the braces Paste { SEQ MySeq \# 0###} in the subsequent rows Then what do I do?

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! "Suzanne S.

Sorry, Karen, but I don't believe that's possible. You'll need to define a
custom number sequence field for that. -- Enjoy, Tony "Karen" wrote in message ...

To keep the leading zeros, try formatting the field using a picture. \#
