outline numbered list not auto-numbering

1.Style containing outline numbering - outline number does not a

2.Style containing outline numbering - outline number does not appea

Hi folks,

I use Word 2000 in an office that uses predefined styles for outline 
numbering.  This was all fine and dandy (except for the usual Word 2000 
numbering issues) until I struck the following problem:

As far as I can reconstruct, this problem occurs when you paste text 
containing a particular style into a document that does not have that style.  
Then if you use Organizer to transfer the style into the document (after the 
paste) the style appears without any outlining. Sometimes it has the correct 
indents, sometimes not.  No matter how many times you try to transfer the 
style, it just won't bring across the outlining.
I have found this problem twice, with two different documents and different 
styles, but as far as I can tell both times there was a paste from another 
document, and then the user discovered the style was missing and tried to 
copy it across. 

The only fix I have found for this problem is to use a different style 
altogether (not always possible) or to dump the document and start again.

Any help would be appreciated.  We have a lot of old documents and we can't 
update them all with the correct styles, so I know I'm going to run across 
this little number over and over again.

Cheers,
Caroline

3.auto numbering/outlining - need to fix OR convert to text numbers

I'm working on a bunch of documents, all multiple choice tests, that
have been through various revisions with various people, and are
various combinations of auto numbers and letters and real numbers and
letters.  It's not always clear which are auto-numbered (list or
outline) and which are hand-numbered, but it all looks like this:

1.  question
   a. answer
   b. another answer
   c.  another answer
   d.  another one

The correct answer for this question is d. (nb - this is NOT numbered)

2. another question
  a. another answer
  b.  and so forth

The correct answer for this question is a.

3.  etc

There are several issues:

A.  Ideally I'd like them all to have just real text numbers - is
there a macro to do that, or could someone get me started on making
one? (with 100 questions per chapter and 18 chapters, I really don't
want to do it all by hand!) It's ok if the answers a., b., etc are
auto lettered - but not the numbers.

B. In one document, the questions are numbered 1, 2, 3, and then again
1 thru whatever.  I can't seem to get the second 1 to turn into a 4.

C. IF I decide to have all the questions auto-numbered (e.g. if it's
not relatively easy to convert the numbering to text numbers), how can
I somehow bypass the line that identifies the correct answer, and then
have the subsequent question continue with its numbering?  I *think*
I'd accomplish that by initially having the correct-answer-line
numbered, returning to go on with the next number, and then going back
up to delete the correct-answer-line's number.

D. Also, IF I decide to have them all auto-numbered, then what about
the blank lines between questions?  Is this basically the same answer
- i.e. let it number the blank lines and type a space before hitting
return to the next question, then later zap out those numbers?

Any help will be greatly appreciated, as will a link to a document
that explains the peculiarities of Word's auto-numbering!

Thanks,
PJ

4.Manual numbering to auto (outline) numbering

Word 2002 on Win 2000 (though I have Word 2003 at home, if needed)

I'm getting docs from other people in our org, and these docs really ought 
to be in a consistent format.  Most of them use outline numbering but in 
several of the larger files the authors actually typed in hard-coded numbers 
in outline format.

What's the most efficient way to eliminate the manual numbers and 
incorporate one of the outline numbering schemes?

I've tried Autoformat with no success, so looking for other ideas.

Thanks

 

5.list numbering within outline numbering

Sorry about the typo; that should be "within" not "withing

In Margaret's article she states, "you could provide a 'start list' macro that sets the style of the current item to the numbered style, and inserts the field at the end of the next previous paragraph of this style"

Can someone give me this macro or show me how to create it

Thanks
