Word UDF and Numbered lists

[Awwe]

Hi there!

I'm making a script for automating the creation of a word document.
 

#include <Word.au3>


Local $oWord = _Word_Create()
$currentQuestion = 0
$oDoc = _Word_DocAdd($oWord)


$oRange = _Word_DocRangeSet($oDoc, -1, $wdParagraph, 1, Default, 2)

$oRange.Font.Name = "Calibri"
$oRange.Font.Size = 14

$oRange.InsertAfter("Document Title" & @CR & @CR & @CR)
$oRange.Font.Bold = True
$listRange = _Word_DocRangeSet($oDoc, -2)

For $i = 1 To 3
    $oRange = _Word_DocRangeSet($oDoc, -2)
    $oRange.InsertAfter("Category " & $i & @CR)
    $oRange.Font.Bold = True

    $listRange &= _Word_DocRangeSet($oDoc, -2)
    $oRange = _Word_DocRangeSet($oDoc, -2)
    For $n = 1 To 3
        $oRange.InsertAfter("___________________________________" & @CR)
    Next
    $oRange.ListFormat.ApplyNumberDefault

    $oRange.InsertAfter(@CR)
    $oRange.Font.Bold = False

Next

 

This is just a test, later the script will fetch the categories and lines from different text files but that's irrelevant.

I've managed to paste this together by looking at the MSDN site for Word VBA, but I must confess that I'm kind of lost when it comes to working with objects using AutoIt.
I want the numbered lists to keep counting from the previous list, right now they start over from 1 in every category.

 

This is what I get when I run my script:        

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

This is what I want :

You could run the macro recorder in Word, create/modify the document to your liking and then translate the resulting VBA macro to AutoIt.

Thanks for the suggestion, I tried it and got this:

Quote

Sub Macro1()

  ListGalleries(wdNumberGallery).ListTemplates(1).ListLevels(1).StartAt = 666
  
    Selection.Range.ListFormat.ApplyListTemplateWithLevel ListTemplate:= _
        ListGalleries(wdNumberGallery).ListTemplates(1), ContinuePreviousList:= _
        True, ApplyTo:=wdListApplyToWholeList, DefaultListBehavior:= _
        wdWord10ListBehavior
End Sub
 

There were additional formating options but I removed them and the macro still works fine.
I'm stuck at how to translate this to Autoit however. If I'm reading it correctly, the Macro creates (or modifies an existing, not sure) List template and then applies it to the list.

Should be something like:

Global $wdNumberGallery = 2
$oRange.ListFormat.ApplyListTemplateWithLevel($oWord.ListGalleries($wdNumberGallery).ListTemplates(1), True)

Listformat is described here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff195913.aspx
I still need to check how to retrieve ListGalleries/Templates (xx above)

Wow, I actually tried something almost exactly like that but I guess I managed to mess it up since the code you posted worked perfectly!
Thank you so much.
