Question

Numbered Lists

  • January 3, 2011

I am having a basic problem with numbered lists.

I have a section with examples. About 10 exmaples, numbered 1 to 10. Each example has 5 possible answers.

So I tried to numbre the examples 1 to  10 which works fine. When I try to give the answers list in the first example letters a to e , the next example  does not start with number  2 but with 7. In word , this works fine, all you have to do is  use an arrow to shift the  sublist to the right.

Is there anyway I can solve the above problem  using a similar  method to word?

thanks

Joe.

    If I understand you correctly, you just need to assign a different "series"

    label to the autonumbering string in the appropriate paragraph formats. For

    example, you could put "E:" at the beginning of the numbering string for the

    examples paragraph format, and "A:" at the beginning of the numbering string

    for the answers paragraph format. For example: "E:<n>" and "A:<n>". Then

    their numbering sequences will not interact.

    Thanks for the reply. I tried your suggestion,did not work. Below is  what I am

    trying to do. I have done  auto numbering for examples, but manual for a, b ,c

    etc in red.

    regards Joe

    Ex.1 Annular preventer sealing elements are made primarily to seal around any

    size of pipe in the hole, but can also seal off the borehole with all pipe

    removed.

    Ex 2. Which three statements about Annular Preventers are true? True

    Falsea.Can be used as a means of secondary well control.

    b.Is designed to seal around any object in the well bore.

    c.Cannot seal on a square or hexagonal kelly.

    d.Will not allow tool joints to pass through.

    e.Will allow reciprocating or rotating the drill string while maintaining a seal

    against well bore pressure.

    f.Can require a variable hydraulic closing pressure according to the task

    carried outEx 3.Why is it important to reduce the regulated hydraulic pressure

    for annular BOP

    before running a large sized casing?

    a.To prepare for the Soft Shut in procedure.

    b.To reduce the closing time.

    c.To avoid collapsing the casing, during closing.

    d.To enable the packing unit to fit uniformly around the casing body without

    damaging the steel segments

    Below is what I did.

    E:Example <n=1>: \t (This would be called example1.)

    E:Example <n+>: \t (This would be called example2.)

    Then for substeps it would be as any other substep. I used "a" as the series number for "answer".

    a:<a=1>. \t (This would called substep1.)

    a:<a+>. \t (This would be called substep 2.)

    You of course would have to set up your tabs for the tab (\t).

    Hope this helps. (There is a mistake in the pic below because I didn't update all...just noticed...There should be a ":" after Example 1:. It is correct in the above series numbering.)
