Odd Number list

Suzan Thompson

Can you create a number list that uses odd numbers only?

Example:

Answer the following:

1) Can pigs fly?
3) Do dogs speak French?
5) Can my fish dance?
7)

31)

Alternatively, you could use a calculated field { = { SEQ MyNum} * 2 -1 }

Probably easiest to just type it, either way. Use ctrl-F9 to enter the field
braces {}, you can't type those, and type in the rest of the text. Or use
Insert | Field to get a basic SEQ field, then right-click and toggle field
codes to edit the field.

The \h is a switch that you *could* add through the Insert | Field, Options,
but I think for the calculated field you would have to type it.

You can ignore the VB Editor for this one.

As Daiya says, just type it, as follows:

1. Type SEQ MyNum, select it, and press Ctrl+F9 to convert to a field.

2. Type = before the field and * 2 - 1 after it, then select the whole thing
and press Ctrl+F9 again.

3. Select the entire field and F9 to update.

You can also press Ctrl+F9 to insert the field and type inside it, but the
other way seems more magical to me. <g>
