Newbs2215

Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) Processor: Intel I need to be able to number individual words in an Word document. I need this as i have to analyze and be able to state whether they are: Verbs, Nouns, Adverbs, etc. This has then to be presented to my Tutor for a University project on Literacy.

Hi Newbs,

Somehow I doubt your tutor wants you to get someone else to do this for you ...
And, since a given word could take on a different grammatical definition depending on the context in which it appears, the task is
not something that I anticipate would be easy to automate.

You can use either a ListNum or a SEQ field for this.

Insert the field beside the first word, get it formatted to your
satisfaction, then copy it. Then use Find>Replace to search for every space
in the document and replace it with a space and "The clipboard contents".
That will add the field you just created beside every word.

I would use the ListNum field, described here:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/162895

That's yet another one they left out of the Word help in an effort to save
money.

The only way to get the Help improved in Office for Mac is to make vigorous
use of the "Was this information helpful?" boxes at the bottom of each help
topic.

Search for what you want: if you don't find it, click "No" to "Was this
information helpful?" then tell them what you were looking for.

That is the ONLY way to get the help fixed. We went into this at Microsoft
in some detail, and the only way to get it fixed is to use "Was this
helpful" or "Help: Send Feedback".

Cheers

All i need to do is to be able to place a small number besides selected words. I will then use these numbers in a list on a new page to explain their meaning. This is only to cross-reference the word to a number, to make it easier to follow.

Any other help would be gratefully accepted

Many thanks

Well, the methods I described will do this.

So will "Endnotes".

See the Word Help topic "Add or change a footnote or an endnote" for
details.
