Re: Reverse order numbered list

Suzanne,

I am aware of that link, and didn't recommend it as the user seemed to
already have a list that he needed to number in reverse. So select it and
run the macro. Cindy's method is good, yet sort of impractical. I mean your
have to know the high number in advance, set up the fields and then type the
sequence.

Consider:
one
two
three
four
five
six
seven
eight
nine
ten

It is much easier to select that then run my proposed macro than it is to
set up the field codes, save then (I guess as AutoTex) and then type the
list (would you agree?)

The challenge (and I can't figure it out) is to create such a sequence as my
method and Cindy's does quite well and then delete one of the sequence
members and the list update accordingly. I mean consider the following (in
no particular order):

10. Rolling Stones
9. Little Feat
8. Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young
7. The Doors
6. U2
5. Johnny Cash
4 Jewel
3. Brotha Iz
2. Alice Cooper
1. Johnny Love Jazz

Lets delete one of the members (say number 5). Wouldn't it be nice if the
result would be:

9. Rolling Stones
8. Little Feat
7. Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young
6. The Doors
5. U2
4 Jewel
3. Brotha Iz
2. Alice Cooper
1. Johnny Love Jazz

I have been cracking my small skull trying to achieve the desired result
described above. Hoping a small guy or gal will provide.

Hi All,

Is there a simple method to display a numbered list in reverse
order? Like Dave Letterman's Top 10 List: 10, 9, 8... Any help is
gratefully appreciated.

Regards,
Robert
