Automatic numbering
TextMaker has several functions that generate enumerations automatically. This
chapter will teach you everything you need to know about them. The following
topics are covered:
Simple enumerations
The first section describes the Format > Bullets and Numbering command.
This command is helpful for numbering paragraphs. A number is inserted to the
left of each successive paragraph, and each paragraph is indented to accommodate
the number.
Numbered lists
You can also create numbered lists with this command. The numbering scheme
for a numbered list can be saved and reused. In addition, a numbered list can be
organized hierarchically (1., 1.1, 1.1.1, etc.).
Numbered headings
You can also use numbered lists to apply numbering to the headings in a document
automatically. You will find information about this in section “Numbering
headings” beginning on page 390.
Numbering with Auto numbers
Besides the above mentioned methods for numbering paragraphs, TextMaker
provides a general-purpose method for automatic numbering: you can insert
instances of an Auto number field anywhere in the text. Successive instances of
this field are automatically numbered incrementally.
Adding line numbers
In addition, you can have TextMaker show line numbers alongside the document
text. The line numbers are inserted in the left page margin, both for display
and for printing.
These topics are treated in detail on the following pages in the order listed.
