Paragraph Numbering
March 1, 2006 12:00 AM
So, I am guessing that you want each text box to start with a different number. Since there is no way to logically chain them, best I know, you have to number them manually. I guess you could do it with lots of variables but probably more trouble than it is worth.Now, once you resign yourself to manually numbering them, the next thing is getting the proper format - that is having your text using a hanging indent from the number. Three ideas:1. Use a table with 1 row and 2 columns. Put the number in column 1. I have used this and it seems to work pretty well.2. Create separate text boxes for each number, then you can place them where you want. You can insert a paragraph a little easier here because you can just drag the boxes to allow for the new paragraph.3. I guess you could create one slim text box and turn on the numbering in it and space them vertically using Shift-Enter for blank lines (this keeps the numbering going.) Then align the text boxes to the numbers. You may have to Render as Image the box with numbers in it. This does not work if you go to separate pages.If any of this is vague, let me know.benEdited By: bpitman on 2006-3-1 13:41:59
