Numbering with Auto numbers
You can create automatic enumerations, not only with the paragraph numbering
functions described on the previous pages, but also manually, by inserting an Auto
number field anywhere in the text.
The “auto number” is a field that symbolizes a number in a series. The first instance
of the auto number in a document always yields the number “1”, the next
instance yields “2”, etc.
If you insert an additional auto number into the document, each successive instance
of the auto number will be increased by one. If you delete a segment of text that
contains an auto number, all the following auto numbers will be reduced by one.
To insert an auto number, do the following:
1. Invoke the Insert > Field command.
2. Select the “Auto number” field from the Field type list.
3. Click on Insert.
The auto number now appears in the text.
Resetting auto numbers
If you need to use auto numbers to create several separate enumerations in a single
document you can do so by resetting the auto number to one at the appropriate
places.
Proceed as follows:
1. Move the text cursor to the place at which the numbering should be reset to
begin a new sequence.
2. Invoke the Insert > Break > Section Break command.
3. Invoke the Format > Section command.
4. Make sure that the Apply to option in the formatting dialog box is set to Current
section.
5. Check the Restart auto numbers option.
6. Confirm with OK.
