Auto numbering in Word 2003 does not work
Hello,
using Word 2003 SP1 - the Auto Number feature does not work. In previous versions of Word, if you type "1. sometext" and then press ENTER, Word will start Autonumbering for you. Word 2003 does not. In Tools/AutoCorrect Options, under AutoFormat As You Type, I have tried selecting/unselecting "Automatic Numbered Lists", to no avail. Any ideas? Thanks, Tom McCray |

You are right. It doesn't work, at least not without some work. See: How to
create numbered headings or outline numbering in your Word document http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/numb...Numbering.html.
