AskWoody LoungerJanuary 7, 2001 at 11:19 pm #1775208With autonum, you can Include the separator switch within the code. It’s s — then you’re selected separator goes between quotes. Note that if you want nothing, you must put a space between the quotes, or Word intuits that you want a period, and if you want a parens to appear before, it will have to be manually keyed.
With listnum, you define the level with l, and it will utilize the format defined in Format / Bullets and Numbering / Ouline Numbering.
