Please help me with some macros/fields!!

[mirage1287]

Hi all,



I am on WORD 2010 and I was wondering if anyone could help me with some macros/fields. Here's the basic premise of what I'm trying to do - I do a lot of work with documents that contain sequential numbers. Sometimes the numbers get messed up, and I want to set either a macro or a field to auto-update the numbers if one gets deleted or added. For example, I'm trying to create a document containing:

ITEM NO. 1:
ITEM NO. 2:
ITEM NO. 3:

If I have to delete the field "ITEM NO. 2:," I want NO. 3 to automatically update to NO. 2. How do I do this? I've been using Quick Parts to insert Fields, and creating: Seq \* Arabic \n, which works to quickly create the next item number, but the numbers do not autoupdate if I delete or add numbers in that mess up the sequence. Anyone have any tips on how to do this? Thank you!!!

When you make use of SEQ fields, you will have to update the fields, for example by switching to Print Preview (Ctrl+F2) and then back to your previous view (ESC).

Alternatively, you can use auto numbering by setting up a numbered style.
