LISTNUM format - simple question

[Simon]

Hi,

After much stuggling I have almost got there have been
beaten by one annoying bit....

I am printing labels (20 per sheet), all with the exact
same text, apart from being numbered in the right hand
corner of the label.

I have used the LISTNUM field to number them as needed,
but they come out in the format "1)" and "2)" and so on.

If I use AUTONUM it only numbers vertically (labels in the
same row have the same number).

My ideal format would be "0001,0002,0003" and so on, but
I'll settle for "1,2,3" without the parastheses...

Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated....

Thanks in advance

Hi, Simon. Have you tried using a SEQ field instead of a LISTNUM field?

SEQ fields can be used to accomplish the 0001, 0002, ... format (four
digits, display leading zeros as necessary). Insert the following
field construction:

{ SEQ seqnamehere \# "0000" }

Note that "seqnamehere" identifies items belonging to the same list.
Replace it with a sequence name that makes sense to you!

You can read more about the SEQ field in Word Help.
