Automatic numbering in column

I want to have numbering appear automatically in a column. My numbering is
like 06-01 then 06-02, 06-03 etc. Can anyone assist in how I set this up.
TIA

Please provide more detail about where the 06 comes from. The rest is
simple.

Hi Suzanne
The 06 represents the current year. Next year the numbering will start at
07-0001 etc.

Use the following code in a macro to insert numbers such as that in the
cells in the first column of the table in which the selection is located:

Dim i As Long
With Selection.Tables(1)
For i = 1 To .Rows.Count
.Cell(i, 1).Range.Text = "06-" & Format(i, "00#")
Next i
End With

If you don't want a number in the first row, use

Dim i As Long
With Selection.Tables(1)
For i = 2 To .Rows.Count
.Cell(i, 1).Range.Text = "06-" & Format(i - 1, "00#")
Next i
End With

Assuming that you want the numbering to be 06-01, 06-02, ... 06-10, 06-11,
.... 06-99, 06-100, you create a numbered style (or apply numbering to the
existing style) as follows:

1. Format | Style [your style] | Modify | Format: Numbering.

2. Choose 01, 02, 03 as the "Number style" and type in 06- in front of the
number field in the "Number format" box. OK.

3. Apply the style to the column in question.
