Hi there,

Is there any way to programmatically control the format of a LISTNUM entry?
The default is of the format "1." or "2." - I would like to be able to
insert LISTNUM without the trailing period: i.e. "1", "2", etc.

Any help would be appreciated.

TIA and have a great day!

Hi Perry,

Thanks, but that command (Applcation. AddCustomList) is not a part of the
Word 2000 object model. Not sure which part of Office it applies to, but it
isn't Word.

Oops, XL10 :))
Sorry bro ...
Have you looked for a possible Word equivalent while being there?

Yo Perry,

No joy in Mudville on a Word equivalent. All I want to do is eliminate the
stinking period that the listnum automatically puts in, but to no avail.
Guess I'll just have to write my own word processor application to do it....

Yo Perry,

Success! I found a simple solution. There is a different field that I can
use instead of either the ListNum or AutoNum. It's called Seq. Give the
sequence a unique name, and off it goes, simply a numeral.

(In case you were wondering.)

Hi Steve,

Another way to slay that beast would have been to use your own named list
template (which doesn't use dots after the numbers):

To do that, just insert a listnum field as
{ LISTNUM myList }

Select the field (respectively the number is field codes aren't displayed),
and change the numbering format of the named list template to your needs in
"Format > Numbering and bullets > Modify...".

Regards,
Klaus
