number in the sequence will be increased or decreased by this amount. For example,
enter 1 to increase the Starting Value by 1 for each repeat.

13 Choose what precedes the AutoNumber in the Leading Character group box.
♦ Spaces− the number is preceded by enough spaces to satisfy the Total Digits choice.
For example, if you select Spaces and four total digits, a single-digit number is
preceded by three spaces.
♦ Zeros− the number is preceded by enough zeros to satisfy the Total Digits choice.
For example, if you select Zeros and four total digits, a single-digit number is
preceded by three zeros (0001).

Creating a complex series of numbers
Using both AutoNumber One and AutoNumber Two group boxes allows you to create a more
complex series of numbers. You can increment two sets of numbers for the same job, such as
different rooms on different floors in a building. In the example, the Floor number had a
Starting Value of 1 and an Increment Value of 1. The Room number had a Starting Value of 2
and an Increment Value of 2.
