I wouldn't save numbered lists as AutoCorrect entries! They have enough
problems as it is. Instead, set up your numbering using styles as set forth in: How to create numbered headings or outline numbering in your Word document http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/numb...Numbering.html. (For bullets see http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/bull...olbullets.html, the subject is related.) This is based on ... Word's Numbering Explained http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/Number...gExplained.htm Additional information you may find useful or need is at: How to Create a Template, Part II http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/Custom...platePart2.htm You can put the text you want in your AC entry into an AC entry and then apply the numbering style. Also, unless you specify that they are formatted, AutoCorrect entries are not stored in normal.dot. Rather than deleting normal.dot, rename it with Word closed. That has the same diagnostic effect and if it doesn't help, you can rename nomla.dot back and not lose any of your other customizations. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/ which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.
