Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

Write has several functions for generating automatically generated numbering. In this chapter, you will learn everything you need to know about this topic:

Simple numbering

The first section introduces the command Numbering numbering_icon on the ribbon tab Home | group Paragraph. This command is useful for numbering paragraphs. A number is inserted to the left of each successive paragraph and the paragraph is indented accordingly.

Numbered lists

If desired, you can also use the command Numbered lists numbered_lists_icon in the same command group to apply hierarchical numbering (1., 1.1., 1.1.1., etc.). In addition, the Advanced functions section explains how to create your own numbered lists and how to save and repeatedly apply the layout and settings of a paragraph numbering.

Numbered headings

You can also use numbered lists to automatically number the headings of a document. For more information, see Numbering headings.

Numbering with auto numbers

Besides the aforementioned methods for numbering paragraphs, you can insert an Auto number field anywhere in the text. All occurrences of this field are automatically numbered consecutively.

Adding line numbers

In addition, you can have Write show line numbers next to the document text. The line numbers are shown in the left page margin and are also printed.
