Paragraph Numbering
March 1, 2006 12:00 AM
One more idea. If you have several steps on a page and the procedure stretches over many pages, you could take a slightly different approach to minimize the number of boxes you have to change. Use separate text boxes as in #2 but instead of setting them to a specific value, use a variable that is based on the starting number for the page. Then all you have to do is set the starting page number for each page vs. changing every box.1. At the page level, set a variable, say StartingNum to the starting number on the page.2. Each text box has 3 actions attached to it:
Code:
Action 1: Modify Variable; Target: StepNum (a new variable) Value: StartingNum; Modification Type: Set Variable Contents.Action 2: Modify Variable; Target: StepNum (a new variable) Value: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, ... depending on which box this is on the page; Modification Type: Add to Variable.Action 3: Change Contents; Target: the text box ; New Contents: StepNum.
I would label the text boxes 0, +1, +2, +3, to keep my head straight. benEdited By: bpitman on 2006-3-1 13:58:22
