I'm not sure I understand. If you are trying to create a numbered list in a table of two columns (one column of numbers and the next column with text), the short answer is don't. Simply create a text box that you can move around and create a numbered list inside it. The numbering feature should automatically keep the text to the right of your numbers, so you won't need table columns to format your text.

I am writing test procedures, and the steps have to be in a table. The table has 6 columns. The first column contains the step number. These have to be in increments of 10 (10,20,30 ...). My test procedure has over 200 steps. If I insert a step, I need to resequence the step numbers. I've been typing in the step numbers one by one, and it is very time consuming. Does MS Word have a feature that will quickly resequence the step numbers?
