Hi Murry, I created a stylesheet which has automatic Exercise numbering and some extra notebook functionality such as a button to step between exercises. You can see it in use in the 2nd year course that Paul Abbott teaches http://units.physics.uwa.edu.au/information_for/current/second_year/am The files for the course are in http://ftp.physics.uwa.edu.au/pub/MATH2200/2010/ Essentially you need something like Cell[StyleData["Exercise"], CellDingbat->TextData[{"Exercise ", CounterBox["Exercise"], ": "}], CounterIncrements->"Exercise", FontFamily->"Arial", FontSize->12, FontWeight->"Bold"] I can email you the styesheet and assignment template if you wish.
