Hi,
I am working on a workbook that will be continually updated with Task/Project numbers, we are going with the WBS sequencing and I have found and used the below code for the macro... everything is working perfectly after I tweaked it slightly to work with our data. My only problem now is that we want to see the different rows clearly defined as per the indent... So rather than each number sequence increasing as per 1 indent I need to change it to increase every 3 indents... I.e. 0 indent = whole number bold 3 indents = two decimals 6 indents = three decimals... and I am unsure of how to change this code to get what I need.
