autonumbering

[cedarmoose]

Is there a way to reverse the already autonumbered page, I mean from bottom
to top starting 1 at the bottom

If you are trying to number text on the page, you can use SEQ fields to
create a reverse numbering sequence. See
http://homepage.hispeed.ch/cindymeister/NbrFAQ.htm#RevNbr.

If you are trying to number the pages in the reverse order, you can use the
following field in the header (or footer):

{ = { NUMPAGES } - { PAGE } + 1 }

To create each pair of field delimiters, { }, use Ctrl+F9. Use Alt+F9 to
show/hide field codes. To update fields at the insertion point, press F9.

would it allow me to add more autonumber to the list
Actually what I need is this
I am answering bible questions online and make a copy each time of my answer
for reference later which I keep on a doc with autonumber. I would like to
reverse the order starting from 1 at the bottom of the sheet and adding
upward as I add more. Sorry for my english

Hmm, if you want to number text in a single sequence, you can use the macro
below which increments and inserts the numbers into text. In order to run
the macro easily, you may want to attach it to a custom button that you can
add to any toolbar. See http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm.

Sub CreateSeqNumber()

'(Modified version of the code at
'http://word.mvps.org/faqs/macrosvba/NumberDocs.htm)

Order = System. _
PrivateProfileString _
("C:\Settings.Txt", _
"MacroSettings", "Order")

If Order = "" Then
Order = 1
Else
Order = Order + 1
End If

Selection.Collapse wdCollapseStart
Selection.InsertAfter Order

System.PrivateProfileString _
("C:\Settings.Txt", _
"MacroSettings", "Order") = Order

End Sub

Note that the macro keeps track of the sequence by storing the current value
in a text file called Settings.txt stored in the root folder C:\. (You can
change the path in the code if you want the file somewhere else.)
