MS Word 2010 Whizz Kids - Numbering Problem

[bark]

Afternoon All,

Is anybody on here a whizz kid with the horrific programme which is MS Word 2010?

Having problems with number - i.e. doesn't follow logic.
For example I'm trying to continue numbering from 6.1 but it continues with 7.2.

Life would be so much easier if this god awful programme didn't exist.

Cheers
Bark x

then you start wrting the first point

the return key takes you two 2. pressing tab make it 1.1. pressing return from there makes 1.2 if you want to go to 2. press shift+tab.

Try notepad.

Just gave that a stab but I don't think it likes it due to it already being a numbered document with an additional point added in.

Cheers for the quick replies sbridgey

Hey bark.

If it's not a private document send it to me and I could take a look.

PM me if you want to do this.

 

[bark]

Sadly it's a contract thing relating to the business so can't really send it
Thanks for the offer though.

Spotted you a few times recently but you've always been past me by time I've realised lol

 

[Blighty]

No worries, you could always try copying and pasting the text into a new document and then re-doing the numbering?

Yea I spotted you once a couple of months back on A194.

 

[bark]

I'll give that a try but I need to continue to track changes, I'll end up losing this if I C/P it into another document?

 

[Blighty]

Yea I'd say so unfortunately.

Hard to suggest things without having a play about.

 

[sbridgey]

Turn your

on there maybe something weird going on you can't see without them
