Can lists be auto numbered in reverse? Word does not have in-built provision but see http://homepage.swissonline.ch/cindy...FAQ.htm#RevNbr for a workaround If you use the first method from the linked page, the two elements { SET HighNr 11 } { = HighNr - { SEQ RevNrList } } can each be saved as autotext entries which are then easy to apply. All you have to do is insert the number in the SET field to represent the number from which you wish to descend. SEQ fields (most fields in fact) do not update automatically whether ascending or descending, but that's a minor obstacle. Simply add an update macro to a toolbar (there's a sample macro that will work at http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm) and click that whenever you change the order of the numbered paragraphs. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org |

Numbering Lists
It can be done by running a macro when you select the paragraphs to which
you want to apply the numbering ' Macro created 12/02/2006 by Doug Robbins to apply/re-apply reverse sequential numbering Dim i As Long, Numrange As Range Set Numrange = Selection.Range With Numrange For i = 1 To .Paragraphs.Count If IsNumeric(.Paragraphs(i).Range.Characters(1)) Then With .Paragraphs(i).Range While IsNumeric(.Characters(1)) .Characters(1).Delete Wend .Characters(1).Delete End With End If .Paragraphs(i).Range.InsertBefore .Paragraphs.Count - i + 1 & vbTab Next i End With -- Hope this helps.
