Formatting Listnum field
Hello - Using Word 2003, I would like to format a Listnum field to be a plain
vanilla number - just an arabic "1" without a parenthesis or period being part of the Listnum field. When I click Insert Field Listnum currently, the available Field properties are "(none)," which results in an arabic number followed by an end parenthesis, "LegalDefault," which results in an arabic number followed by a period, "NumberDefault," which results in an arabic number followed by an end parenthesis, and "OutlineDefault," which results in a capital roman number followed by a period. (Yes, I would think "(none)" would mean no formatting, but in my Word 2003 it doesn't.) I know I have been able to format the number to be "plain" in the past, but I'm not remembering how to do this. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated! Second question: Once I have formatted the Listnum field, I want to have two separate listnum sequences going in the same document. I plan to use the Listnums to automatically number Interrogatories and Responses to Interrogatories in the same document; both will start with "Interrogatory No. 1:" and "Response to Interrogatory No. 1:". Again, I know I have done this in the past (in an earlier version of Word), but can't remember how to start a separate Listnum list in the same document. Again, thank you! |

The usual way: display the Bullets and Numbering dialog. Select a numbering
style. Click customize. Format as you like. To do the second sequence, assuming the interrogatories and responses always come in pairs, it might be easier to SEQ fields: you can use a simple SEQ field for the Interrogatory {SEQ MyList \# "##0"} then use another SEQ field with the \c switch to the cross-reference the preceding SEQ number.
