Re: Macro that inserts Listnum field with specific start number

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

Use

ActiveDocument.Fields.Add Range:=Selection.Range, Type:=wdFieldEmpty,
Text:="LISTNUM " & Chr(34) & "MyList" & Chr(34) & " \s " & txtStartNum.Text

Assuming that the starting number is entered into a control with the name of
txtStartNum

Hope this helps.

Hi,
I'm trying to insert Listnum fields, but the start number needs to be
whatever the user types in the user form. Apparently I can't use
variables
pointing to the value of the text box on the user form inside the field
code
after the /s switch. Any ideas how I can accomplish this?

TIA mariej
