SYMPTOMS

 * 2) Select the text to be numbered.
 * 3) On the Format menu, click Bullets And Numbering.
 * 4) In the Bullets And Numbering dialog box, click the Numbered tab, select the style of numbering you want, and then click OK.

NOTE: If you want the numbering to start at a certain number, or to be a different format, click Customize, and make the changes that you want.
