How to create number style format in 100, 110, 120 ...

Hi,

I need some assistant to create a number style under the "bullets and
numbering" function for subsequent use in the Table of Content function.

I had tried the available option, but Word only display the usual number
format of 1,2,3 ....

You want to _exactly_ follow the instructions you'll find at:
How to create numbered headings or outline numbering in your Word document
http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/numb...Numbering.html. (For
bullets see http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/bull...olbullets.html, the
subject is related.)

This is based on ...

You can use the following fields:

{ = 100 } -- For the first number

{ = 100 + { SEQ tryout }*10 } -- second and subsequent numbers

To insert each pair of field delimiters, {}, press Ctrl+F9. When you
are done typing in the field codes, press F9 to update. The second
field construct can be duplicated via copy and paste, for easy
insertion. Or select it and create an AutoText entry in order to
simplify insertion even
more.

Note that fields do not update automatically, which will be especially
apparent if you used copy and paste to insert additional fields.
Selecting the entire document and then pressing F9 or switching to
Print Preview will force an update. You may also want to enable the
option to update fields on print (in the ToolsOptions dialog box,
Print tab).

You can learn more about SEQ fields and formula (=) fields in Word
Help.

Hi Stephen,

In the New Style dialog box, select Format | Numbering... | tab Numbered.
Select the second box, or in any case the one that shows 1. ... 2. ... 3.
.... If a box like this is not visible, select the second box and click Reset.
Click Customize...
In the textbox under Number format, type a 0 between the 1 and the .
Click OK, and click OK.

This style starts numbering at 10 instead of 100 - if you cannot live with
that, insert nine alineas with this style and give them hidden format.
Perhaps this is somewhat clumsy, but it works.

Good luck,
Cooz

Clever idea! But instead of inserting hidden paragraphs to get
numbering to start at 100, why not just set the "Start at" number to
10?

Hi Cooz & Stefan,

Thanks for contributing your solutions to my problem.

Both is working great for me, eventhough I still need more time to explore
the "SEQ tryout" function, which is relatively very new to me.

Nevetheless, thanks a lot.

Thank you for the feedback. Using a numbered style is easier, of
course, since numbering will update automatically.

Note, however, that the style solution is less generic than the SEQ
field solution. The former makes use of the fact that the decimal
number system is based on the number 10: We are actually using the
sequence 10, 11, 12, 13, etc. of paragraph numbers, multiplying each
number with 10 (which is accomplished by adding zero to the right in
the decimal number system).

If you ever need some other unusual numbering scheme, SEQ fields will
be the only way to do it. In this particular case there is no need to
rely on SEQ fields, though, since what you require can be accomplished
with Cooz' solution.
