Wouldn’t you want to have a macro to do this for you? I don’t know about you, but I would.

The macro is almost finished, I just need help from the list with one command.

Imagine I have a table with several rows. I place the insertion point in a cell and a number will be correctly inserted with this:

$startNumber = 1
Type text $startNumber+1


but how can I add a string to the number? If I try this

$startNumber = 1
Type text $startNumber+1 & '.    '


then I get an error. Obviously & is not the sign to be used. What am I supposed to use then instead?
