Restart AutoNum Field

[Angelo]

Hello all,

Sorry, I accidently also put this question in the General
VBA.

Does anybody know how to restart numbering for AUTONUM
fields in the middle of a document?

Thanks in advanced.

Hi Angelo,

You can't. They are pretty much a relic of old versions that are just kept
around for backwards compatibility.

Replace the AUTONUM fields with LISTNUM fields.
You can do that with "Find/Replace": Copy a listnum field { LISTNUM
LegalDefault } to the clipboard, and replace "^d AUTONUM" with the
clipboard content ^c.

LISTNUM fields *can* be restarted using switches:
{ LISTNUM LegalDefault \L1 \s1 }

Greetings,
Klaus
