To create a number that automatically increments for each new quote,
you could use a numbered style to format your "quote paragraphs". For
example, hold the Shift key while clicking the Arrow next to the Style
box on the Formatting toolbar, and scroll down until you find the List
Number style. Click its name to apply it to the selected text. If you
want the "current" quote number in the header or footer, just insert a
STYLEREF field in either of these locations. (For information on how
to insert a STYLEREF field, see the first section of the article at
http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/StyleRef.htm and/or Word Help.)
