Office Word Programming >> Automatic Reformating of Large Numbers

by Mangy Moose » Tue, 13 Jun 2006 03:44:08 GMT

In Word 2000 and above we are always typing in large numbers; e.g., 254365
or 6549871. We would like Word to automatically reformat these numbers to
include commas; e.g., 254,365 or 6,549,871.

Is there any macro that exists that can be loaded when Word is run so that
the reformat can be done as the author types?

No. You could use Find and Replace to fix them all afterwards.

How do I solve this problem?

NOTE:  The actual pages in the section are not numbered. 

Thanks for any help!

8. Numbering and Automatic Change of Reference Number

Simple example of what I'm trying to accomplish-

I have two tables - one after the other.  I have 1, 2 , 3, etc. in the first 
column and periodic Notes that I include in the second table - so for 
instance I'll add a second table with a row item including Notes for the 
above number 2 (or rather first column will also contain the number 2).  

In the first table I have Numbering (bullets) in the first column - so when 
I delete a column it auto renumbers all the rows. 

Is there a way to tie the number '2' (of first table) to the number '2' on 
the second table, to where if I delete row number 1 (from the first table) it 
changes number 2 on the second table to number 1, since number 2 now becomes 
number 1 on the table above?

Thanks
