Numbering bullets down columns instead of across rows?

C

Carol

I have a 3 column table with multiple rows. I have numbered bullets in each
of the cells for the 2nd and 3rd columns. I would like the numbers to be
consecutive going down the column, not across the rows as Word wants to do.
Is there a way around this?

Desired table output:

Col. x Col. y Col. z
------ ------- -------
Row 1. text 1. text
Row 2. text 2. text
Row 3. text 3. text

What I get when I use "continue numbering from previous list"

Col. x Col. y Col. z
------ ------- -------
Row 1. text 2. text
Row 3. text 4. text
Row 5. text 6. text

Thanks in advance for advice, ideas!
Carol

The easiest, for me at least, would be to create two numbered styles. Apply
style one in the first row and style two in the second row.

This is certainly the best way. For those who don't want to use styles and
are willing to do some extra work, two different SEQ series will do the
same.

Of course, you will have corrected my typo.. I meant "in the first column"
and then "in the second column."
