      The number list flows columns wise in InDesign tables. i.e it will fill all the column first in Row1 then Row2 etc. However, I would like to fill all the rows first then it should go to column2 and fill all the rows then column3 and so. For example:

      Default style:
      1 2 3 4 5
      6 7 8 9 10
      11 12 13

      I need:
      1 6 11
      2 7 12
      3 8 13
      4 9
      5 10

      Any tips, please share

      Thanks,
      Masood Ahmad

      Merge the cells in each row vertically.

      If you don’t want to do this, for one reason or another, then you can’t use automatic numbered lists to do what yo want.

        Thanks Jong, however I got something better at my end. I created a text box with 4 columns of fixed width then inserted a table with one column (i.e. one table column per text columns.

        Oops, I love troubleshooting.
