Auto Numbering assumed
by UFNVTGlvblJQ » Wed, 05 Mar 2008 00:42:01 GMT
Is there a quick short-cut that I can try and back-up to an auto number???
Here's what I mean. I am typing a list. I enter the following information...
2.1.3.1 Information
2.1.3.1.1 Blah Blah Blah <ENTER>
2.1.3.1.2 Blah Blah Blah <ENTER>
2.1.3.1.3 (Auto Numbering is assuming a 2.1.3.1.3 item and I am
done there...I tried backspacing so that it would incrementally count to the
previous level...2.1.4 but it just gets rid of anything. Is there any
short-cut so that I can then go back a sub-section??? Or do I have to
manually type 2.1.4???)
Thanks in advance for your help.

Assuming that your numbering scheme is built using propers styles and
outline numbring, SHIFT-Tab would do what you want (TAB would do the
opposite).
If it does not, then make sure that you have Tools > AutoCorrect Options.. >
AutoFormat As You Type tab > Set left- and first-indent with tabs and
backspaces.
It is misleading because the Backspace works only with Indents, not the
level numbering itself.

Ctrl-Z usually works.

CTRL-Z will not decrease a pargraph outline level to the previous outline
level, unless you have custmized CTRL-Z, which is normally assigned to Undo.
CTRL-Z can remove a numbering that Word inesrts automatically when it
assumes you want a bulleted or numbered list, but in fact you do not. But
that is a different story and unrelated to the OP question.
