Microsoft Word - Numbering
Hi, Im using the numbering function in word to list something, all goes well till i get to 10. when it decides from there on out that its going to make me leave a large space!
How do I stop this?
TIA

Re: Microsoft Word - Numbering
Have you been to Insert, then down to page numbers?

Re: Microsoft Word - Numbering
The better way to list anything in word is by using bullets

It's down to how the numbering is 'formatted'. If you highlight the list, then go Format->Bullets and Numbering - then you can control how the numbers are done.
Having said that, the automatic numbering feature of Word is one of the most frustrating things, ever!

Re: Microsoft Word - Numbering
yep especially when having used it once and have a list like 1,2,3,4,5,6. Then another paragraph then needing to number again from 1 but it won't let you and always wants put next number as 7

Re: Microsoft Word - Numbering
Meh, you are right, it is the single worst thing ever! I had to use numbering, the only way I got round it was to bring all the others out to the same level as 10+
Looks really shoddy though

I just switch the so-called "helpful" automatic settings off and do it manually setting tabs and indents.
It saves a lot of frustration!

'It looks like you're trying to write a letter - do you want some help?'

If I could be bothered to search for it, someone posted a link ages back with someone typing "I can't take it any more, I'm going to end it all..." and the Paperclip going "It looks like you're trying to write a suicide note - do you want some help"

If you go to "Format" > "Bullets and Numbering" > "Numbered" there is an option to restart numbering, this lets you restart from 1.
