Hi Scott,
I'll be happy to prepare the docs with two-digit numbering..It will help the parts appear in order in file listings, etc.
(Instead of:
part1
part10
part2
part3
...)
No need to submit additional request form(s).
Should be back to you a bit later today...
Best regards,
Paul

I figured.

I think that would be wise just in case if you want to use a fixed width
for the number.

Our problem is we aren't far enough into the process to know yet, and when
we did it originally, we didn't have numbered documents.
I don't mind having to adjust the metadata in the event I have to renumber.
Should I fill out a new ticket to request the two digit numbering or can
you take care of that?

Yes, we did that originally, that's nothing new.

Thanks.
