Update Numbers in a Table Automatically
We have a two column table that is constantly being updated and modified, new
rows are added in the middle or at the end of the table. The left column always has a numbered entry: Ref1, Ref2 Ref3, etc. The right column has descriptive data. If I insert a column between Ref1 and Ref2 I have to edit the numbers in all the rows below my new Ref2 row. Is there a way to automate this so it updates automatically, as is done in a numbered list - also applies to adding a new row at the bottom. Thanks Carl |

Update Numbers in a Table Automatically
You could use AutoNumbering, with a prefix, or you could use SEQ fields
(don't update automatically but can be updated with F9). -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "Carl_B" wrote in message ...
