Answer This question was answered by Paul Miller, on Monday, August 30, 2004 3:06 PM

Answer:
HI Andrew,

If your feeling adventerous, you can try using DXL to auto number your bullets - I think for a lot of seasoned users of DOORS, we wait patiently for a more advanced bullet numbering feature similiar in operation to MSWord, or at least something where you can select a range of objects and apply a bullet scheme without having to do it object-by-object.

I was just hoping to post this and have someone say "Oh, it is in DOORS 7.2 which will come out tomorrow." Or something like that. Or raise grass-roots support for it, so that Telelogic puts it in.

If you have bullet points within a text attribute, you can cycle through various styles of bullet/numbering by selecting the text and pressing CTRL-SHIFT-L.

This is a secret legacy from the underlying rich edit control, and it is totally unsupported. You can't do it in DXL and your numbered points may not survive an export. But if you really want numbers, you can have them (within a single text attribute).

Cheers,
Judith

What is the chance of this legacy suppport going away in the future? Can we rely on it hanging around for some time, at least within the formal module?

Since it's not supported, there are no guarantees. However, I'd expect it to stay or possibly even be promoted to being supported rather than disappear.

Cheers,
Judith

This is a pretty cool "feature"!

However, bear in mind that bullets numbered in this way are exported as normal bullet points when exported using the standard Word exporter and using the latest version of WEXP (which at last supports bullets and indentation).
