custom paragraph numbering

[Tammy]

I need help trying to set up a custom number for a patent document. The
numbering needs to be in [0001], [0002], [0003]. It needs to single level
with a five space indent from the heading of the list. On the design new
numbering format it won’t let me make a custom one without one of the
numbering formats included, like 01, 02, 03, and so on. I would like to have
the numbering continue from 0001 up a number each paragraph so it does not
have to be done manually... Is it possible to do this either with numbering,
multilevel numbering or in the styles?

This document is due in a few days and have alot of stuff that has to be
listed in this format.


Thanks,

Tammy

Use a SEQ field with the \# 0000 formatting switch

[{ SEQ Num \# 0000 }]

In a paragraph set up with the indents and other features that you require
and probably save it as an autotext or autocorrect item to facilitate its
re-use.

You just totally lost me... It has been along time since I used word for this
type of work and that was word 2002, I am using 2007 now.

You lost me with the bit about the "five space indent from the heading of
the list" but if you meant that you wanted the paragraph to have a hanging
indent format the paragraph with that indent and a tab stop in the
appropriate place and insert the SEQ field, toggle off the display of the
field codes and then press the tab key and you should see when you have the
Show/hide (¶) button clicked.

0001[tabarrowsymbol]¶

Now select all of that and then from the Insert menu click on the Quick
Parts pulldown and then on the "Save Selection to Quick Part Gallery" In
the Create new Building Block dialog that appears, replace the 0001* that
appears in the name control with np and then click on OK.

Then whenever you want to create a new numbered paragraph, type np and then
press the F3 key.
