OT: autonumbering in Word

[Jon Harvey]

I agree. What I've been able to do is create autonumbered documents that
seem to hold better than a house of cards. I still can't build a
fortress tho. There's always gonna be someone who can mess it up. It's
not necessarily because they are careless either. Microsoft has tried so
hard to automate features in Word that a writer doing one thing can
cause another to change without the writer knowing about it. When using
the autonumbering feature, the writer just has to know what those things
are. If they do, they can prevent/fix a lot of their problems. For
example, one thing I discovered is to base all autonumber headings on
"no style".

BTW, if you want to import bullets or autonumbered content, just assign
your document's native autonumbered headings to them. (Actually, I'm not
sure this will work, but if it doesn't, it is easy to fix.)

from

"The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in 
moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification

for selfishness."
