Custom paragraph numbering

[TDay]

I've written an Excel function in VBA to create a numbered paragraph list.
I'd like use the same format for numbered lists in Word. How? I've done very
little VBA in Word, but am very proficient with Excel VBA. Do I have to
create a Word addin or are there simple ways to at the numbering format to a
template or what?

In Word, it would be easier to create a paragraph style that includes
numbering. Or you could use one of the built-in styles that are numbered,
such as List Number. It can be modified to suit your needs.

Regretably the standard formatting options do not accomodate the numbering
required for a Work Breakdown Structure and/or for leading zeros in a
numeric numbering system. The Excel function works great, but I'd like to
provide an option to do this numbering in Word. I presume that I can create a
similar macro in Word, but I have not written code for Word for years.
Obviously it has changed so I am looking for tips on how to do it and where
to get help.

One leading zero is supported: you can choose the "01,02,03,..." format. If
you want more leading zeros you should be able to use SEQ fields.

Which format are you trying to accomplish, exactly?
