We are currently creating technical documentation for our client and are
having trouble with the implementation of some components. Other software
exist on the market which is more suitable for our needs, however MS Word is
the software of choice, selected and used by our client.
Our primary challenge is with the autonumbering feature currently employed
by MS Word. The autonumber function often performs in a manner inconsistent
with what we are trying to accomplish. That is it will autonumber in a manner
we do not want. It automatically assigns an autonumber when we indent, or
performs some other numbering function on the paragraph. We override this
feature but more often than not it affects autonumbering for the following
paragraphs.
Numerous individuals work on the document, and some are not that computer
savvy. This complicates the matter of document consistency greatly. And since
99.9% of this document is autonumbered (well over 500 pages worth), it
becomes a nightmare to maintain. Add that Word automatically conforms to
pre-set nodes, changes our numbering intent then we have a real nightmare on
our hands.
My question: is there, or does there exist, a plugin to override Word's
autonumbering scheme? I've searched the web but came up empty.
Any assistance would be most helpful.

Thanks in advance,
