The table option worked to perfection. &nbsp;I can also right-click to set the value but the table format was more fool-proof (which is important in this application).<br />

Is there a better way to set this up that will maintain the formatting of the number in the margin but maintain the margins of the rest of the document?<br />

Autonumber-Template.doc

I've setup a template using MS Word (2002) that includes autonumbering (see attached).  The autonumbering is actually set up in the margin where I need it.  

The problem I'm having is that when I double-click on the first number (e.g. number #52 in the attached template), the autonumber formatting gets screwed up.  As soon as I click on the number to change the starting number, it jumps over to the right where the left margin is set.  

Is there a better way to set this up that will maintain the formatting of the number in the margin but maintain the margins of the rest of the document?

Thanks,

Formatting problem in MS Word using Autonumbering

Microsoft Word is a commercial document editing program that is part of the Microsoft Office suite. It features numerous text-editing tools for creating richly formatted documents, along with tools for the use of macros in Word documents. Word's native file formats are denoted either by a .doc or .docx file extension. Plugins permitting the Windows versions of Word to read and write formats it does not natively support, such as the OpenDocument format (ODF) are available. Word can import and display images in common bitmap formats such as JPG and GIF. It can also be used to create and display simple line-art.
