Consecutive numbering on a document

Question

I need to type 000, 001, etc. all the way to 999.

My question is:

Can Word automatically do the consecutive numbering without me having to type each individual number from 000 to 999?

Is there maybe a Macro that I can use?

Help, please.

Answer 1

If you have Office, Excel is much better at doing this.

You can use a SEQ field.

Answer 2

And how do I use an SEQ field?

Just an FYI:

I've passed both an Excel 2007 AND Excel 2010 class so I have a decent idea of how to do many things in most of the Office programs but I don't recall SEQ fields.

Thanks for any help.

Answer 3

If you want to number paragraphs, you can set this up as a numbered list. Just pick the "001, 002, 003, ..." option. For a single-level list, click Home tab | Numbering | Define New Number Format.

The best approach, as always with Word, is to set up a numbered paragraph style. Post back if you need additional details.
