Hi Susan, in addition to your last remark ".... , but I havent found a way to add numbers." I have the following solution: add rows by entering as many as you need, select the 'format painter' and format the un-numbered rows in between the numbered rows > presto (at the end of the list it works as well).
Good luck with your column, I love reading your suggestions.

Thanks for the suggestion -- I've also heard from at least one reader who says her list updates. There might be a setting that's involved, but I haven't been able to determine what it might be!
I see no useful purpose for this! This seems to be just creating a series of numbers in a table, then converting that into a numbered list. Just start the creation of the list like normal. If you need more numbers to the end of the last item and press return. Add to that, the author seems to be using a really older version of Office, which is also not really a good idea. I'm not sure what version the instructions are from, but it looks like Office 2000, XP or 2003. I mean come on... Office 2013 preview came out yesterday! At least show 2007 at the minimum!
As a facilitative instructor, it is sometimes helpful for me to give a group a blank numbered list and ask them to brainstorm a certain number of responses....
The figures are from 2010. Instructions are provided for 2010, 2007, and 2003. I'm not sure what you think you're saying or reading, but... come on...
As for uses -- I've had more than one request for such a list. Apparently, there are folks who can use this.

Another way to do this is to turn on Outline with the number character set. Press Space and then Enter after the 1.
The select and copy the "space and Enter".
Press and hold CTRL + V until your number list hits the number of rows you desire.

It sounds easier than my route -- thanks for the suggestion!
Hi all,
Does anyone know how to do a reverse numbered list in Word? I have never been able to find out how I can add a new item to the TOP of a table and have it be the next number HIGHER (it is for recording experiences in a teaching log).
I have to do it manually, and because the entries can sometimes be 1000 words, I can't use Excel...
Interested to hear any ideas!

Good question -- I thought a quick descending sort, but it doesn't work -- I'll see what I can come up with.
Make sure your show/hide is on (home ribbon, paragraph group). To add a number to this list, just click next to the paragraph mark next to the number and select Enter. On the Home ribbon, in the paragraph group, click on the numbered list. The next sequential number will appear. We appreciate all your great tips.
