MS Office Forum / Word / Numbering / July 2005Odd Number list
Can you create a number list that uses odd numbers only? Example: Answer the following: 1) Can pigs fly? 3) Do dogs speak French? 5) Can my fish dance? 7) . . . . 31) Suzan Hi Suzan: Yes, you *can*. But it's a bit of a fiddle. If you care to tell us how you want to use it, we may be able to suggest a simpler approach. The basic technique is to use pairs of SEQ fields, with a "\h" switch on the first of every pair: {SEQ MyNum } { SEQ MyNum \h}{SEQ MyNum } { SEQ MyNum \h}{SEQ MyNum } When you update the fields that will print 1, 3, 5...

Use ctrl-F9 to enter the field braces {}, you can't type those, and type in the rest of the text. Or use Insert | Field to get a basic SEQ field, then right-click and toggle field codes to edit the field. The \h is a switch that you *could* add through the Insert | Field, Options, but I think for the calculated field you would have to type it. You can ignore the VB Editor for this one. > Where do I make this changes?

Type SEQ MyNum, select it, and press Ctrl+F9 to convert to a field. 2. Type = before the field and * 2 - 1 after it, then select the whole thing and press Ctrl+F9 again. 3. Select the entire field and F9 to update. You can also press Ctrl+F9 to insert the field and type inside it, but the other way seems more magical to me. <g> SignatureSuzanne S.
