Numbering

[LInda]

I'm creating labels with prefixes and a 3 digit automatic numbering like this:

LABEL001
LABEL002, etc.

When it gets to 10, the label should look like this:

LABEL010, and when it gets to 100, it should look like this: LABEL100

I was able to do this easily in Word 2003 by just restarting the numbering
and defining a new numbering style without the extra zero. It was pretty
simple - but I can't figure out how to do it in 2007. Any clues?

You should be able to use SEQ fields for this: { SEQ myseq \# "000" }. To
create the field delimiters, { }, press Ctrl+F9. Then type the code as
shown. Press F9 to update.

In order to show/hide field codes, use Alt+F9.

I should mention that you can use copy and paste to duplicate a field. Also,
note that SEQ fields do not update automatically. In order to update all SEQ
fields in a document, you can select the contents (Ctrl+A) and then press
F9, or you can switch to Print Preview and then back to your current view.
