How do set automatic numbering in a word document?

[Guest]

I have the following text:

Request for Admissions No. 1: blah blah blah
Answer:

Request for Admission No. 2: blah blah blah
Answer:

Request for Admission No. 3: blah blah blah
Answer:

Is there any way to set my numbering up so that I get "Request for Admission
No. 4," "Request for Admission No. 6", etc., instead of just the number? Is
there a way to include text in my numbering?

Go to Format > Bullets and Numbering. Click Customize on the Numbering tab.
Enter the text in the Number Format box.

Yes, there is.

There is a tutorial here that shows you how--it uses Q as an example but you
can use a text prefix with a number instead.

Either the numbered list or the outline-numbered list method will work for
you.

See http://www.gmayor.com/Text_as_bullet.htm You should just get that text
in with the 30 character limit. If you need more text then you would need to
create an autotext or autocorrect entry including a SEQ field to place the
text and numbers. Personally I would prefer this latter approach.
Save
Request for Admissions No. {SEQ Admissions}
as a formatted autocorrect entry for (say) #num then then type #num to enter
the next block.
