A problem with MS word numbering duplication
AhmadMeleha I cannot replicate that problem with a list where the numbers were added by the use of the numbered list facility and it is most likely that the original numbers were typed (or the document may have originated from another source.
To remove the unwanted numbers, you could use a wildcard replace routine in which you enter [0-9]{1,2}. in the Find what control, and leave the Replace with control empty. Note, there is a space after the final period in that string

I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to you for your invaluable help in resolving my issue. I cannot put into words how thankful I am to you!!
I have another request, and I hope you can help me
I have a file with about 3000 questions that I want to format all the answers as in question 1 & 2.I select the 5 answers in every question independently, and use numbering button, then use the left indent to shift the answers to the right along the previous question line.
If I copy the format from the previous question, it continues numbering with F, G, H, I, ...
I need to make all the answers the same format at once with A, B, C, D, E
Is there any wild cards or formatting tips for such thing?AhmadMeleha Can you upload a copy of the file so that I can devise a method of overcoming the issue.
