Hey all,

I was hoping you guys can help me with a very simple question I have. I was wondering how would I go about numbering an entire column in Pages? For instance, let's say I have a document which contains 2 columns and 10 rows. In this document i would like to have the left column to be numbered. So basically, the rows in the left column are numbered sequentially 1 through 10.

The way I would do this in MS Word was to highlight an entire column, then goto the formatting palette, choose "bullets & numbering" and click on the "numbering" button... Word would then automatically number every row in the selected column 1 to whatever.

Is there a way to do this in Pages '08? I've tried highlighting a column with the inspector, going over to "list" and choosing "numbers" and I'm having zero luck. What it does do, is put a number "1" in the first row of the left column which promptly disappears when I click out of the row. Help?

Thanks!
