I want to number columns in a tbale with a reference that is relevnt to the
title of the table. I.e if it was Cars..then c1, c2, c3 etc. If it was Buses
then, B1, b2, B3 etc

Any ideas on how I can do this ?

You can use a Seq field construct such as the following:

{ SEQ mysequence \# "'B'0" }

To insert the field, first press Ctrl+F9, which makes Word insert the
field delimiters {}. Within those, type the code as shown above, with
the following exception: Choose a different name than "mysequence".
The reason is that this "name", the so-called identifier, is used by
Word to determine which Seq fields belong to the same numbering
sequence.

To update the field and display its result, press F9.

To insert more occurrences of the field, you can use copy and paste.

Note that Seq fields do not update automatically, which will be
especially apparent if you used copy and paste to duplicate the field.
To force an update, select the entire document and press F9, or switch
to Print Preview.

When you want a new numbering sequence, just insert one with a
different identifier. You'll have to do this when you want to start
the "C" list. Of course, you'd also have to replace 'B' above with
'C'.
