Jon - Sorry, but I have to disagree. The huge amount of on-line discussion by people struggling with Word's numbering contradicts your assertion.
The only reason that your numbering coup was a achievement is because the Word autonumbering implementation is a miserable kludge that you managed to harness one time. If you ever have to inherit a Word file where someone has bollixed the autonumbering scheme, you will find that the document is impossible to repair. Pulling off the same thing in FM is, well, child's play. will white vialogy On Monday, May 12, 2008, at 11:46AM, "Jon Harvey" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >Hi Leah, > >The MSWord numbering feature is actually pretty good once you learn how >to use it.
