Reverse table order/number rows

How can I:

a) Reverse the order of a table

and

b) Automatically number each row?

Thanks,
Jess

Use a macro containing the following code

Dim i As Long
With Selection.Tables(1)
.Columns.Add beforecolumn:=.Columns(1)
For i = 2 To .Rows.Count
.Cell(i, 1).Range.Text = i - 1
Next i
.SortDescending
End With

Hi Doug,

The macro works great! Just one little problem: after it ran, the
rows are now numbered descendingly 84-1 instead of 1-84 (84 rows in my
table, natch). Is there a way to just reverse that 1 numbering column
alone?

Thanks again,
Jess

I think it's more due to my unfamiliarity with how macros work that I
just ended up accidentally deleting/fudging around with them. After
they ran, my tables ended up looking funny, so I did a workaround by
copy-and-pasting the first column to another document and reversing it
there, then pasting it back. Otherwise, the macros worked great and
did their job :-)

Thanks a lot,
Jess
