Create a numbered list in a word table - numbered by columns

[gecko]

I want to set up a word table with all items numbered. This I can do, but
the numbering function goes across the table row by row. I want the
numbering on my table to go column by column.

eg I want: (imaging this is in a table)

1 2 3 4
1.1 2.1 3.1 4.1
1.2 2.2 3.2 4.2


instead I get this:
1 2 3 4
4.1 4.2 4.3 4.4
4.5 4.6 4.7 4.8

Is there a way to do this?

Use a single-column table and format the document to have four
columns. Note that, in order to get a "table look", you may have to
set a fixed height for the table rows and also decrease the spacing
between columns.

Thank you Stefan, I will try this. I was hoping that there would be some
format option that would allow me use standard tables, but alas it seems
there is not.
