MS Office Forum / Word / Numbering / October 2004Numbering multi line items
How do I use numbering for a list of multi line items. Actually I want to use this for a table of references. An example would be 1. Reference 1 Author of Reference 1 Location of Reference 1 2. Reference 2 Location of Reference 2 When I apply numbering to such multi line items each line gets its own number! Regards Bo 1. Use line breaks instead of paragraph breaks within each block, or 2. Use a List Continue style for the unnumbered lines. In this situation, I'd be inclined to use (1).  SignatureSuzanne S.

It simply seems that pressing the 'Numbering button' inserts Heading style!!! It must be something to do with my templates! It I create a normal.dot based document this does not seem to happen....

You can clear that with a reset, but for any serious document you'd do better to use a paragraph style for your numbered references. The built-in List Number style would be a good starting point. You can add a button for that to your toolbar.
