Well, maybe. So try a simple test.....
Open a new document and paste this text into it :-
first paragraph
second paragraph
third paragraph
first sub paragraph
second sub paragraph
third sub paragraph
fourth paragraph
fifth paragraph
Now select the first three lines (up to the end of the third line not
on to the next blank line) and add an auto number starting at 1
Next select the three sub paragraph lines and add an auto number starting
at 1 style abc/n.n... Finally select the last three lines and add an auto
number starting at 4. What I get is :-
1. first paragraph
2. second paragraph
3. third paragraph
d. first sub paragraph
e. second sub paragraph
f. third sub paragraph
7. fourth paragraph
8. fifth paragraph
This doesn't seem right.
If I go back to the first blank line and turn on auto number then turn it
off, things change. Still not quite right though.
This is all with OPW in case that makes a difference.
I haven't managed to get the n.n format to work, but I might still be
doing
something wrong.
