MS Office Forum / Word / Numbering / September 2004Numbering Style
I am using Word 2003. I am using auto numbering. When I select Customise Numbering, Number style option is there. There i have on of the option as "01, 02, 03,.....". In my document i need to have some thing like "00001, 00002, 00003,.....". Is it possible by some means? My numbering will go upto 1000's i.e. "01000" Thanks and regards, Pradeep Kumar P Hi It's not possible to use automatic paragraph numbering and get the format you want. You'll have to use SEQ fields. Do ctrl-F9. Within the brackets, type SEQ para \# "00000" \* MERGEFORMAT Press F9 to update the field. If necessary, Shift-F9 toggles between the display of field codes and the display of field results. Since it will be tedious to enter this field every time you want to number a paragraph, you could create an AutoText. Select the whole field and the tab, Insert > AutoText. Having created the AutoText, you could then assign a keyboard shortcut to insert the AutoText. Note that fields don't update automatically. F9 will update the field under the cursor. Ctrl-a, F9 to update all fields in the document. Make sure that you have ticked the box at Tools > Options > Print > Update Fields. There's more in Word's help about SEQ fields and how they work.

I am asking just incase there if there is a easier way. When i do numbering, i just have to press enter to create the next number and if i delete 1 or more rows inbetween it automatically updated the following numbering. In this case i always have to select all and F9. Thanks and Regards, Pradeep Kumar P >-----Original Message----- >Hi [quoted text clipped - 37 lines] > >. Hi No, it's not possible to get the formatting you want with paragraph numbering (which updates automatically). You can only do it with fields (which need to be updated with F9, or, will update when you print or print preview, if you have ticked the box at Tools > Options > Print > Update Fields). Hope this helps. Shauna Kelly. Microsoft MVP. http://www.shaunakelly.com/word > Hello Kelly, > [quoted text clipped - 61 lines] >> >>. Pradeep if you want a configurable, automated interface for inserting SEQ field numbers with leading zeros, have a look at Pro_Numbering: http://www.idoc.com.au/numbering/numbering.htm which offers: * 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 digit numbers * 4, 5, 6 and 7 digit numbers with comma(s) at three digit intervals.
