You could do it with a macro but what are you trying to accomplish? I doubt
you want a document with a number following each word. Probably a more elegant macro would be one that would report on the number position of a selected word when the macro is run. -- 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://www.mvps.org/word which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.

It is for a childs school project. Not sure of the intentions but I was asked
to find a solution. The teacher stated he/she wanted every word numbered. "Charles Kenyon" wrote: You could do it with a macro but what are you trying to accomplish?

For me such a macro would be an hour project. For a vba expert perhaps 5-10
minutes. For a child unfamiliar with programming computers, a lifetime. Perhaps the teacher simply wants the child to learn numbers. Word does have a Word Count field that will give you the total number of word in a document. I guess one solution would be to create a SEQ field, paste it in front of or behind each word in the document and then select the document and update the fields. Don't think I would spend the time, or have my child spend the time without a better explanation of the reason for the exercise from the teacher. -- 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://www.mvps.org/word which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.

This could be automated by copying the SEQ field and then using Find and
Replace to replace each space with a space followed (or preceded) by ^c (Clipboard contents). A more roundabout way would be to replace spaces with paragraph marks, autonumber the paragraphs (using a numbering style that did not include any punctuation), convert the numbers to text, then replace paragraph marks with spaces. If the original text contained more than one paragraph, it would be useful to convert the paragraph marks to something distinctive first so that the original paragraph breaks could be restored. -- Suzanne S.
