Overriding numbering in lists

Question

A journal that I'm working on has a list of 40 or so points. However, some of the entries in include a range, which looks something like this:

1

2

3-14

15

16-21

Is there any way I can manually edit a number? Restarting from a different number is of course the easy bit. My question is whether there is a way to include a range.

Many thanks

You can edit a list number only by setting it manually in the Bullets & Numbering list. You'll have to create a style for each number, though.

That is:

1. This would use the base style with Start At set to 1.

2. Base style, Continue from Previous.

3. Base style.

4-8. Unnumbered style with tabs set to allow number position.

9. Base style, Start At 9.

10. Base style, Continue.

...etc. Pretty messy.

I'd just do a style, or two styles, that let you do the numbering manually. One style for single numbers and one for ranges. Might be able to combine them depending on the layout. Use a right-justfied tab for the number and a left-justified tab, and indent, for the text.
