Re: Multilevel lists in Word 2007, including an additional charact

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

The table solution is really the Word way of doing this.

Word has also a feature that mimicks the WordPerfect feature you mentioned,
an advance field:

1) Numero uno{ advance \x0 }*
2) Zwei
3) Three
4) Quatre

You'd create the field braces with control+F9, and toggle the display
between field code and field result with Alt+F9.

The advance field and the asterisk should be the last thing in the
paragraph. The field moves the insertion point to where you specify, in this
case x=0 (left text boundary).

Summer, thanks, again for the suggestion. Just played around a little
bit
using a table, and I know the Professor will be very happy with the
results.

Can't you add bold or italics to (a) or (b) or (c) to show it is the

You
could to a character style with colour for the answer text or type
your
asterisk at the beginning of text.

Sometimes it is the new ideas not trying to stick to same old same old
formatting that makes fun.
I'd be inclined to put blue or red or teal (green) for your text which
is
the correct answer and bold the questions - change the look a little
but
if
not you achieve what you want using tables and outline styles.

You could put a 2 column table with individual rows for each question
and
each answer and put your auto number in column 1 and your Question
Put your asterisk right aligned (put 0" margin) and in column 2 second
level
number and tab and then answer

1col 2col (merged celll)
1.0. Question is?
2 columns
* (a) Answer a
(b) Answer b
(c) Answer c
copy and paste the 2 rows without text and use your auto outline
numbering
Question in first merge cells row and answer in 2 column (not merged)
rows.

Hope this makes sense - not so easy to explain in writing.

Hope this helps.

Hi, I haven't been able to find a post to meet my need...

I am working with a Professor who is trying to create an exam
outline.
He
would like a list that appears like this:

01. Here is the first question. He wants the number 01. followed
by
a
tab and
would like the question to wrap under the text.
a.) He then wants to have his answers indent in with a
letter,
and have the
text wrap underneath the text, not the letter.
b.) next answer
c.) next answer

I'm sure you get the idea - it's a typical outline. Anyway, that is
really
not the problem - Word can certainly handle that. However, he would
like
to
have an "answer" exam with an asterisk (*) next to the correct
answer,
but
the asterisk should line up with the main numbering line. For
example:

01. Here is a question
a.) answer 1
* b.) answer 2
c.) answer 3

In the example above, "b" indicates the correct answer.

Is there a way to make Word do this using the mulitlevel list
feature?
I
can't figure out how to put the symbol at the beginning of line
followed
by
an indented subnumber. It seems like he could create something using
custom
tab stops, but that would mean typing in all the numbering and
making
sure
to
tab appropriately.

I've never used Word Perfect, but he mentioned that WP was able to
do
this.
Here at the school he does not have access to WP. It seems that
whenever I
deal with a former WP user, they come in to MS Word kicking and
screaming.
So, I try to show them the "wows" of MS Word. I'm really hoping to
come
up
with a solve for him on this and would appreciate any feedback. But,
please
don't tell me to go back to Word Perfect!

Thanks!
