Tables and Automatic Numbering

[shelley]

The problem is:
I have a very long table that goes to several pages. I
would like to use auto numbering to number paragraphs
within the table, but each paragraph is in a different
cell. Is there a way that I can use autonum or something
that will update each paragraph when a new paragraph is
added?

List Number does not have any Space After by default. You must have modified
the style on your machine.

Set the header as "Keep with next" and make sure the rest of the rows are
*not* formatted that way.

Suzanne - Is 0 space after the List Number default in Word 2002? If
so, I musta changed it and forgot.

Shelley - I seem to vaguely recall having the problem of breaking
header rows in earlier versions of Word but I'm using 2002 now and
there is no such problem.

I tried creating a blank four column table that spanned three pages.
Then I filled in the first two rows as headers, selected them, clicked
"Heading Rows repeat" on the table dropdown menu, and the header rows
came out fine on each new page. No break appeared after the original
two header rows either.

Try it this way if this is not what you're doing already. Maybe it'll
work. If not, post back and remember to state what version of Word
you're working in.

Well, it's based on Normal, so if you'd added Space After to Normal, that
would make a difference, but AFAIK, there's no space after List Number in
out-of-the-box Normal.dot in any version.
