How do I create a reverse order numbered list?

[Chrysie]

I'm creating a score card in Word. I'd like it to look as follows:

5 I'd like the text to allign to the tabbed space between text and number
4 In a word wrap situation, I'd still like the text alligned so that the
text
is all lined up together - indented
3 Even more text here
2 Still more text
1 Last of the text

That definitely achieved the formatting I was after. It's unfortunate that
Microsoft doesn't allow the user to reverse the numbering order for a
numbered list or similar style.

Thanks for your help Michael. Your directions were perfect.

Chrysie,

You can sort of:

Word has no provision for numbering in reverse order. But you can set up a
semiautomatic numbering sequence using a combination of formula, SET and SEQ
fields .

Example: { SET HighNr 11 }{ = HighNr - { SEQ RevNrList } }
{ = HighNr - { SEQ RevNrList } }
{ = HighNr - { SEQ RevNrList } }
Display: 10
9
8
