Tip : Tcount & Bcount

TCOUNT
       “Tcount” command is used to add sequential numbering to text objects.

Steps:
  •   Type command "TCOUNT"

             Select-Order = according to the order in which the text was selected.

  •  Specify Start number and increment (Start , Increment)
             Mention the Start number, and increment value                           
             i.e. If you type 1,2 (1 will be start number and 2 will be increment value)
             For decrement use “-“ sign
  • Placement of numbers in text (Overwrite, Prefix, Suffix, Find & replace)
             Overwrite = Replaces text with numbers.
