Numbered Lists

[Stefan Blom]

If you are saying that each section is in a separate document, you could
just type the first number (and the period, of course); in this case,
you would type "2." before the actual number in the "Number format" box.

If you want numbering to remain "live," you could set up an
outline-numbered list (see
http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/numbering/OutlineNumbering.html) and set
the "Start at" number for level 1 to be 2.

Can someone please help me with my simple numbered list?

All I would like to do is create a list like this:

2.1 Topic
2.2 Topic
2.3 Topic
2.4 Topic
etc...

The 1 section is in another document. I can't seem to nut out the Bullets &
Numbering dialog. If anyone could provide step by step instructions, I would
be most grateful.

Cheers,
Link.

Would you please correct your PC clock: it is a day in advance of itself.

If you are using this as a trick to keep YOUR post at the top of the list,
don't think it helps because Windows Mail and the latest versions of most
newsreaders can now delete delinquent posts.

 

[Stefan Blom]

You are welcome.

But the time on your system is set relative to GMT, and yours is incorrect.
For example, it is currently a little before 9 AM on April 26 where I am
(Central Daylight Time in the U.S.), but your posting time is shown as 6:04
PM on April 26. The reason for this, as shown by your message header (Thu,
26 Apr 2007 17:04:07 -0600), is that your system is set to GMT -0600, which
would be Mountain Daylight Time (or Central Standard Time) in the U.S. (my
headers show GMT -0500).

So regardless of what time is displayed on your system clock, your time zone
is set incorrectly.

Hi Terry

I'm in Australia, I AM a day ahead! From the US anyway. No trickery here.

Cheers,
Link.

Thanks for you help. I managed to do it!

Cheers,

Still a problem, I think, as your header is claiming it's Saturday where you
are (Sat, 28 Apr 2007 00:15:23 +1000). For me here in Alabama, it is 6:22 PM
on Thursday, April 26, and your post claims to have been posted at 9:15 AM
on Friday. Now that you've corrected the time zone, you may need to reset
the date and time.

Is this better? Apologies - I never knew the two were separate.

Cheers,
Link.

No, I think you're still a day ahead, as your post is showing 7:01 PM on
April 28, my time, whereas it's still April 27 here. I should think you'd be
seeing the wrong date there as well, as your message header shows Sun, 29
Apr 2007 10:01:14 +1000.

Well this has been a real learning experience. One that has made me feel
like a real muppet.

I am actually a successful professional, believe it or not!

Hopefully I can prove that by finally getting my time right!;-)

Cheers,
Link.

This is a comedy of errors on my part. Hopefully now, my date, time and
region are all good.

Thanks for your patience and apologies for any inconvenience.

Cheers,
Link.

Congratulations! I think you've finally got it!

Far too simple, isn't it! <g> I'm please you got there.
