Exhibit Page in Word document

[MysteryK]

We have been trying to create an Exhibit page using numbers instead of A, B,
C, since we have about 68 exhibits. Upon creating the Exhibit page, we have
bookmarked the exhibit numbers within the document with index to cross
reference to the page numbers as well. There are 3 columns, Exhibit #,
Description (to be typed in later) and page numbers. Upon creating and
updating the Exhibit numbers, the numbers come out as Exhibit 1, 10, 11, 12,
etc. and then 2 is before 20, 21, 22, etc. and so forth. The page should
read numerically. Has anyone experienced this and figured out how to get the
numbers consecutively as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, etc. without making
manual corrections? Any assistance would be appreciated.

Look into the Table of Contents feature.
Give your Exhibit pages names (Descriptions) using a heading style that is
formatted for page break before.
Begin the Exhibits with a new section so that your TOC will be in a separate
section and restart the page numbering with the Exhibits section.
If your exhibits are not being printed in Word, you can still set things up
like this and simply use the individual pages to create your descriptions in
the TOC.

Otherwise, format your numbers to include a leading 0 since Word sorts
numbers as characters and the number sorting you describe is correct for an
alphabetical (rather than numeric) sort.

I didn't explain very well in my original post, as all of our information is
listed on one exhibit page - the last page of the document - there are no
separate exhibit pages, they are only referenced in the document. But, if I
understand your second paragraph correctly, WORD will not create an Exhibit
page correctly for the Exhibit numbering without using the 01, 02, 03, etc.
Your post does help in that respect. This is the first time we have had this
type of problem arise. Using Index does correctly give the page numbers that
the reference to the exhibit appears on, but does list the numbers as stated
in my original post. Plus, the references listed after your post are great!
I really appreciate receiving those, as we did not know these legal info
sites existed. Thank you so much for your input.
