Add automatic numbering to a table in pages09

how do i add automatic incremental numbering to a table in pages09?

i need to be able to select a column, and apply auto numbering so that each row has a numeric reference for its columns data sets. this way, when a row is deleted, and new rows are inserted, the reference numbers change, automatically. saves a whole lot of text editing.

is there a way to auto number the rows in a column, or table within Pages?

Hi Markmal,

I'm reading your question a little differently than the Kennymac, I think, so I'll offer another observation. If you fill a column with the formula: =ROW(), you will not have to adjust the numbering for additions and deletions of rows.

To easily fill the column with this formula, type it into the first cell, select that cell, Edit > Copy, select the entire column, Edit > Paste.

Regards,

Jerry

As I already wrote several times, the three componnets share many resources stored in:
"<startupVolume>:Library:Application Support:iWork '09:Frameworks:"

The spreadsheets functions are an example of shared items.
This is why there is a single Formulas and_Functions_UserGuide.pdf
