Numbering paragraphs in the left margin;not lines

[Kris]

Hi
I need to number the paragraphs in the left margin of a document. It
is very similar to line numbering; but numbers the beginning of each
paragraph.

Any ideas?

Kris

Hi Kris,

A paragraph style that includes automatic numbering and a very large
left-indent for the first page. Note this needs to be set up using the
procedures in: How to create numbered headings or outline numbering in your
Word document
http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/numbering/OutlineNumbering.html. (For
bullets see http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/bullets/controlbullets.html, the
subject is related.)

This is based on ...

Word's Numbering Explained
http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/Numbering/WordsNumberingExplained.htm

Additional information you may find useful or need is at:

How to Create a Template, Part II
http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/Customization/CreateATemplatePart2.htm

You want to adjust the indent when you set up the numbering, not in the
paragraph style itself.

Hi,
That is not quite what I was after. The document already includes a
numbering scheme using heading styles. I am looking to place numbers
in the left margin for each paragraph so they can be referred to during
discussions. This would be numbering paragraphs with heading styles
and without heading styles.

Well, it is a lot more work, but see
http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/MarginalText.htm. That may do what you
need. It isn't automatic, but it works. You could create an AutoText entry
with a frame and a SEQ field.
