Special auto-numbering

[orit]

I have a word document that contains a table. The table has 2 columns and hundreds of rows.
I want to number the items in the table in the following way:
In the first column, each cell will contain one item that will be numbered as the regular ms-word auto-numbering goes.
In the second column, each item will be outline numbered sequentially, with the number in the column from left leading to it.
For example, in the left column the single item in the cell is numbered as "1." - in the next cell to this cell from right, I want each item\row to be auto-numbered as: "1.1", "1.2", "1.3", "1.4" etc. in the next row, the left cell is numbered as "2.", and in the right cell, the items will be numbered as: "2.1", "2.2", "2.3", "2.4", "2.5" etc.

How to do this?

Thanks a lot

Hello there, welcome to the board!

Why not set it up and change it manually once, then save it as a style?

I didn't know about that way. Can you please provide more information or direct me to information about what you mean?

Thanks

You could search the web for many results, even this forum. Check out this link for some good info...

Oh, seems like this feature is beyond office 2000, correct?

Thanks

That link seems decent for 2000. I do so little in Word, i find styles a helpful way to re-use certain formats.

Hope that helps
