WINDOWS

Summary:

When renumbering paragraphs using a custom-number format terminated with a space, Microsoft Word for Windows versions 1.0, 1.1, and 1.1a still place a period after each number.

For example, if a selection is renumbered using the number format “1,” the result is as follows:


 * 1) Text text text.
 * 2) Text text text.
 * 3) Text text text.

Word includes the period after the paragraph number by default, even if you specify a space, rather than a period in the number format. Placing a space after the number in the number format changes the renumbering separator (the character between the number and the text) from a tab to a space, but does not affect the punctuation after the paragraph number.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word for Windows versions 1.0, 1.1, and 1.1a. This problem was corrected in Word for Windows version 2.0.
