= SUMMARY =

Numbering a large document with the Library Number command may result in an “Insufficient Memory” message. To reduce the chance of receiving the “Insufficient Memory” message while renumbering a large document, perform the Library Number command on smaller subsections of the document at a time, using the following steps:


 * 1) Move the cursor to the first paragraph to be numbered. Anchor the highlight by pressing the F6 key (extend selection) or by holding down the SHIFT key. Now use the DOWN ARROW key to extend the highlight so a smaller subsection of the paragraphs is highlighted.
 * 2) Choose Library Number. Select No in the “restart sequence:” field. Only the highlighted paragraphs are numbered.
 * 3) Save the changes to the paragraphs by choosing Transfer Save. This reduces the pieces of the document stored in the computer’s memory into one piece, and reduces the amount of memory used to store edits to the document.
 * 4) Repeat Steps 1-3 above, each time anchoring the highlight on the last paragraph renumbered during the previous execution of the Library Number command.
