MS Office Forum / Word / Numbering / May 2004can someone tell me
How do I insert a number into a word doc template which automatically updates to the next number when the doc is reopened. The doc template is a quotation which is going to be used over and over again If it is going to be heavily used, it is important that you spend the time to set this up right because Word's automatic numbering is "broken." You can use SEQ fields or styles or listnum fields. Styles is often the best way, but it is some work. See: How to create numbered headings or outline numbering in your Word document http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/numbering/OutlineNumbering.html. This is based on ...
