Numbered Lists
I have a need to create a list that starts lettering with a Q, then the next
item is an A, then back to a Q, then to an A. These letters must be indented exactly the same from the left margin. I realize that I could use a number of techniques to achieve this result, but which is the best and easiest in your opionion? Outlined number lists and sort of tricking the 2nd level to look like it is not indented when printed out. This would use tab and shift+tab to move from teh Q to an A. Styles? Marcos? Your help is appreciated. -- Thanks, Allison |

Your help is appreciated. I'd setup two bulleted styles, one with the Q and one with the A. And set each style to be followed by the other. That's a setting that only works during creation of the document (i.e., when you are in the "Q" style and hit return, the next paragraph automatically is in "A" style, and vice versa). There's no way to force anything with that setting on an existing text. Still a good help IMHO. 2cents Robert -- /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | MSFT | \ / | MVP | Scientific Reports X Against HTML | for | with Word? / \ in e-mail & news | Word | http://www.masteringword.eu/ |

Robert:
Thanks for your quick response, but I don't totally get it. I can set up two bulleted list styles (Format/Bullets and Numbering/bullets tab/customize). Then I created a style of A and Q. Then I went into list styles, created a Q&A style, and added the bulleted list style A as level 1, and Q as the level 2. So this works great, but I still have to tab and shift tab to promote and demote between the levels. What am I missing by your statement "and set each style to be followed by the other"? I appreciate your help! -- Thanks, Allison "Robert M.

See http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/QandA.htm. The "Style for following
paragraph" is set in the Style dialog. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "Allison" wrote in message ...
