= SYMPTOMS =

When you choose OK in the Renumber dialog box, the error message “Invalid Number” occurs.

= CAUSE =

This error occurs if you use two or more separator characters consecutively in the Format box of the Renumber command. It is valid to use more than one number separator in the same numbering scheme as long as these separators are not used consecutively.

For example, “I.A.1)a.” (without the quotation marks) is a valid numbering scheme. There are multiple separators, but they are not adjacent one another. However, the numbering scheme “I.A.(1)a.” is invalid because there are two consecutive number separators, a period immediately followed by an opening (left) parenthesis.

= STATUS =

This feature is under review and will be considered for inclusion in a future release.
