I feel your pain. Many government workers and lawyers do not know how to count.
The way that FM counts beyond Z is correct: AA, AB,... . But AA, BB, ... is not, however there is little that can be done about once it has gone through the courts. On one project I have various mixtures of counting styles drafted by different legal firms and approved by various judges. In the end I had to manually fix the numbering in each paragraph format. Big pain but it worked. The upside is that the numbering is never allowed to change. Alan On 9/03/2010, at 4:05 AM, Owen, Joy W.
