Have a look at the New England Historic Genealogy Society publication _Genealogical Writing in the 21st Century_ which contains the essay "Writing Using Word for Genealogy: Utilizing Microsoft Word in Genealogical Documents in Register, or Modified Register [NGSQ], Format" by Alvy Ray Smith. Smith's method addresses how to automate numbering and subsequent renumbering in genealogies. see Smith, Alvy Ray. "Writing Using Word for Genealogy: Utilizing Microsoft Word in Genealogical Documents in Register, or Modified Register [NGSQ], Format" _Genealogical Writing in the 21st Century: A Guide to Register Style and More_, Michael J. Leclerc and Henry B. Hoff, eds. Boston, MA: New England Historic Genealogical Society, 2006: 65-107. The essay was reprinted from articles in four issues of _New England Ancestors_ magazine which ran from Summer 2004 to Winter 2005. While Smith developed the method using Microsoft Word 2002 you may have success using it with other versions of the software. Good luck with it, Leon E.

I have the NEHGS book but found that it did not help if you have the 2007 or 2010 version of Office. Have not yet put the time in to find the correlation between the book's directions and the many changes in the Office Ribbon, but that is on my to-do list!
