Word 2007 - auto numbering at end of phrase so 2nd line remains same number as the 1st
How could I use incrementing auto numbering to accomplish this common
request in law firms? I've tried Heading 1 and Heading 2 but there is so much text in the Response phrase that it won't all fit. I've also tried Field Codes, but it also increases the number in the Response phrase. The Interrogatory and the Response must have the same number. INTERROGATORY NO. 1: RESPONSE TO INTERROGATORY NO. 1: INTERROGATORY NO. 2: RESPONSE TO INTERROGATORY NO. 2: etc. This would be a great help if someone could figure out how to do this. Thanks. |

That is a really terrible link (display on my screen is atrocious) and in
any case not a direct link to Shauna's article, which is at http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/numb...Numbering.html -- Suzanne S.

Thanks for your comments. Believe me, I have done my research before coming
to you with this problem. Outline Heading styles don't work because the text is too long to fit. And Shauna's article has been well read and absorbed. However, it doesn't answer my specific questions as posted. BTW, that link is a mess and doesn't have any answers. "Terry Farrell" wrote in message ... Same here too. The link is a mess.

Please clarify "I've tried Heading 1 and Heading 2 but there is so much text
in the Response phrase that it won't all fit": fit into what? Terry "Trainer" wrote in message ... Thanks for your comments.

I believe the issue here (which has arisen before) is that you can't use
auto numbering for: INTERROGATORY NO. 1: RESPONSE TO INTERROGATORY NO. 1: INTERROGATORY NO. 2: RESPONSE TO INTERROGATORY NO. 2: because there is a limit to the amount of text you can have before the auto number, and "RESPONSE TO INTERROGATORY NO. " is excessive. An approach that would work, though it would not be entirely automatic, would be to use SEQ fields. This could be handled in either of two ways: 1. Use a { SEQ Int } field for the Interrogatories and a { SEQ Res } field for the Responses. 2. Use a { SEQ Int } field for the Interrogatories and a { SEQ Int \c } field for the Responses. In either case, the entire phrase (INTERROGATORY NO. { SEQ Int }: ) could be saved as an AutoText entry (building block) for ease of insertion. SEQ fields do have to be updated manually, so at the outset (until you updated the fields), all the interrogatories and responses would be numbered 1, but provided they are sequential and no numbers are omitted, this would work. -- Suzanne S.

Okay, I will use Sequence codes as you suggested. I wanted to be sure there
wasn't another method before I used Sequence codes. Thanks for the detailed explanation. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...
