Freezes when #ing a column in large table? Help!
Hi,
I am trying to number a column in a pretty large word table. he method I know is to highlight the entire column by clicking the top gridline in that column, then clicking the "Numbering bullets" icon. When I do this one of two things happens: either Word becomes nonresponsive or nothing at all happens? Anybody have any suggestions? Thanks!! |

Freezes when #ing a column in large table? Help!
First suggestion is to not click on that button (or the bullet button) -
ever! There are lots of ways of numbering that work in Word. Unfortunately that numbering button is not one of them. The other one that doesn't work is Format List Number Style. If you are upset about this, your feelings are justified. You could insert SEQ fields in the first column or apply a numbering style using specific methods. See: 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 ...
