Numbering Characters
Can someone tell me if it is possible to insert fields (number in brackets) at the beginning and in the middle of sentences throughout a paragraph such that sequential numbering appears throughout. The idea is that a number would appear, say, at the beginning of a sentence and the next sequential number would appear at the beginning of the second sentence and so on. In this way, editing a sentence that requires removal of a number, the remaining numbers would auto adjust to become sequential.
Thanks |

You could use a SEQ field.
eg ({SEQ Sentence}) Insert the field with the addition of the brackets as shown followed by a space at the start of the numbered sequence. Select the block and copy to the clipboard. Use Replace to find a period (full stop) followed by a space and replace with ^&^c This will put the field at the beginning of each sentence. Select all (CTRL+A) then update F9. You will need to update any time you edit the sequence and move or remove a field.
