Word 2016 and Auto Numbering
|
Also, coming at it from the flip side of Mr. Griffiths' observations, I have always hated auto-numbering because there are times when I want the formatting that go with it and other times when I do not. It's a simple matter to activate auto-numbering using ALT+H, N and then arrowing around to select the specific format (numbers followed by periods, numbers followed by parenthesis, uppercase Roman numerals, letters, etc.) that you want for that particular list when you want it. Otherwise there are lots of times where I'm typing a number followed by some text where I darned well don't want Word deciding that I'm trying to create a numbered list. While the hit enter twice to end a numbered list has worked for ages I don't even want the darned thing created automatically in the first place.

I'm not sure when it came in. You've always been able to press Enter twice and the numbering would go away, but in earlier versions of Word it didn't apply the Normal style, hence the need for pressing Ctrl + Shift + N, as Ed mentioned. When I tested it in 2016, I found that the second press of Enter applied the Normal style for me, making it more straight forward. --- Steve Griffiths 🐾 Working from home in Lancaster -----Original Message-----

I can confirm Brian's listing of options is the same in Word 2016. Once you're on the Autoformat as you Type tab, you should be able to Tab or arrow through all the options.

George, I have Word 2010 but this particular set of options has been the same since Word 2010 according to the Microsoft documentation. When I get to the Autoformat as you Type Tab, the following options are listed under the Apply as you type section as checkboxes in two columns: First column: Automatic bulleted lists Border Lines Built-in Heading styles Second Column: Automatic numbered lists Tables
I am presuming you wish to turn off automatic numbering permanently, though you can, of course jump back in to that dialog again to turn it on. I'm guessing that your not seeing the Automatic numbered lists might have something with how the screen reader
is traversing the options in that dialog tab. Try either searching for Automatic numbering using the screen reader search function or just brute force tabbing your way around until you land on it. It has to be there somewhere because they always make a distinction
between bulleted lists and numbered lists.

I wish to continue listing stuff, but not in the auto manner. Say; I do something on the 1st of December I put 1- before that something, then I might skip a few days and do something else, so I might want to start that item off as; 15-. Thanks, all.

That applies the "Normal" style -- just like the extra ENTER. -----Original Message-----

I followed the steps, but when in the Auto Correcting, Apply box there was nothing about Auto Numbering. Yes, there was Auto bulleting, which I unchecked, but nothing about numbering. Thanks. On 12/22/16, Steve Griffiths <steve.griffiths@...> wrote:
