Default Numbering oddly

Qt based on Word 2007

Is there an easy way to set numbering to the following:

1.
3.
5.

And so on

Use the following field construction

{ = { SEQ Odd } * 2 - 1 }

You must use Ctrl+F9 to insert each pair of field delimiters and use Alt+F9
to toggle off their display.

After creating the field construction, you could select it (and probably the
following tab) and create an autotext entry of it to facilitate its use.

Hello zyzzyva,

if you want to create a numbered list with only odd numbers in it, I would
also suggest you to consider this option:

It is not as elaborate as the previous post but I guess it is fast and
relatively easy solution.

I hope it helps

If not, contact me via my website

In that method, it would be better to select the paragraphs that are even
numbered and then format the font of those paragraphs so that it is hidden.
Then with the display/printing of hidden characters turned off, you would
get a single spaced list rather than a double spaced list as you will get if
you format the font of the paragraphs as white.
