Using SEQ fields
in [Document Management]
|
Prev: text form field in a cell
Next: AutoText/Correct
From: Graham Mayor on 5 May 2010 01:03 If you want a period and tab to be included with the SEQ field, you can insert the period and tab as part of a formatting switch e.g. { SEQ Num \# "0. " } While creating the switch press the tab key after the period and before the final quote to give the space. The tab in the switch will adapt to whatever tabs you have set. You can then save the field as an autotext or preferably as a formatted autocorrect entry. -- <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> "Amy" <Amy(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:CB8F617B-BE49-4BE3-B32E-18D223E27BA1(a)microsoft.com... > Okay, I hate to sound totally stupid, but I've played with my document for > a > few days and can't quite figure this out...
