auto numbering only works with tab
using word 2002, on new dell vista home prem desk top.
typing on a standard letter, new document. when completing a list of names, vertically, using the auto numbering feature, it only works if i "tab" after entering 1. if i use the space bar, it doesn't auto enter the next number. searched word help. i uninstalled the word 2002, & reinstalled it. any ideas how to use auto numbering with space bar? thank you, len kiesling |

It will only work if you follow the number with a stop or a tab. If you
don't use either, then Word assumes that you are just typing ordinary text. If it didn't assume ordinary text, every time you type a number followed by a space, it would switch to list mode. -- Terry Farrell - MS Word MVP "Leonard F Kiesling" wrote in message ... using word 2002, on new dell vista home prem desk top. typing on a standard letter, new document. when completing a list of names, vertically, using the auto numbering feature, it only works if i "tab" after entering 1. if i use the space bar, it doesn't auto enter the next number. searched word help. i uninstalled the word 2002, & reinstalled it. any ideas how to use auto numbering with space bar? thank you, len kiesling |
