Numbered List not starting automatically
Hello, I'm having an issue while using Word Online. Turns out, when I type 1. Word doesn't automatically start a numbered list. Any ideas about what could be the problem? Thanks.
Hello, thanks for replying.
No, I'm typing it in the body of the document and it doesn't seem to work. I have added a picture for what it's worth.
Thanks.
As I mentioned, I can't reproduce it here. I do find that the presence of a space is crucial. It is necessary to type a space after having typed the number, for the conversion from typed to automatic numbering to occur, but your screen shot certainly looks like there is a space present.
Does this problem occur in one particular document, only, or in all documents that you edit in Word Online?
