How do I restore Skip numbering option in dropdown menu?
FWIW, you can still add to the context menus (if want to experiment with
macros). -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: If Ursula is using a version prior to Word 2007, however, she can add Skip Numbering to the context menu, always realizing that there may be many context menus to which it will have to be added. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "Stefan Blom" wrote in message ... You live and learn (apparently). I had never noticed the Skip Numbering command before. It doesn't seem to work in Word 2007, though. In my opinion, it will still be easier to apply a un-numbered style. If you want to skip numbering but preserve the indentation, it is very convenient to use a specific style for that purpose, for example one of the List Continue styles (which can of course be modified to suit your needs). I realize, of course, that how we want to do things is also a matter of what we are used to. :-) -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "DeanH" wrote in message ... There is a function in the AllCommands (Customize, Commands) listing called SkipNumbering. This can be easily added to your Toolbar. I have even made an Icon for it, as I have too much time on my hands ;-) This function allows you to create a list of bullets or numbering, the go back and "turn off" the numbering and bullet for a particular list item with the need for using a different style. It even allows numbering to skip the item. "Ursula A." wrote: I wonder why the skip numbering option simply disappears from the dropdown menu in word. Usually when I work with bullets I can skip these by a right mouse click and klich on skip numbering. How can I reset this dropdown menu so that the skip numbering option works again? -- Many thanks, and have a good day Ursula A. |

How do I restore Skip numbering option in dropdown menu?
The command is still there, and you can add it to the Quick Access Toolbar.
The problem is that it doesn't seem to work. Nothing happens when you click it with the insertion point inside a numbered item. :-( -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "DeanH" wrote: It would be a shame if 2007 does not have this function, as I use it daily. I used to have a number of styles for the differing bullet levels and numbering lists until I found this SkipNumbering command, which disregards the specific level and maintains the indentations. It also maintains the style name which helps when doing find/replace activites. If you have time, maybe a further investigation into 2007 to see if MS have moved it elsewhere. All the best to you Stefan. DeanH "Stefan Blom" wrote: You live and learn (apparently). I had never noticed the Skip Numbering command before. It doesn't seem to work in Word 2007, though.

How do I restore Skip numbering option in dropdown menu?
To add a non-bulleted/numbered paragraph between items, press Shift +
Enter. For example, Type #1 text and press Shift + Enter twice to type the next paragraph (twice if you want to add a space between text and new paragraph). Press Enter twice after your non-numbered paragraph and numbering will restart at 2.

How do I restore Skip numbering option in dropdown menu?
This does NOT, however, create a new paragraph but only a new line (that's
what line breaks are for). Much the best solution is to use an unnumbered style; Word provides a built-in series of List Continue styles with indents to match the List, List Number, and List Bullet series. -- Suzanne S.
