Formatting Tips for Numbers
| What You Want | Value | Prefix | Suffix | Result |

| #1 | 1 | # | #1 | |

Tips and Best Practices
- Use round numbers for cleaner appearance (500 instead of 487)
- Limit to 3-4 statistics for maximum impact
- Lead with your most impressive number
- Use consistent suffixes (all percentages or all with "+")
- Make sure statistics are verifiable and current
- Test animation on slower devices to ensure smooth performance
- Consider disabling animation for accessibility
Troubleshooting
Problem: Numbers are not animating. Solution: Check that "Disable Animation" is toggled OFF. Also verify JavaScript is not blocked on the page.
Problem: Animation happens before I scroll to the section. Solution: The animation triggers when the section enters the viewport. This is normal behavior.
Problem: Numbers look too small or too large. Solution: Adjust the Visual Heading Size in the Style group.
Problem: Counters are not evenly spaced. Solution: Make sure Number of Columns matches how many counters you have, or choose a column count that divides evenly.
Problem: Text color blends with background. Solution: Change Text Color in the Style group to contrast with your section background.
Problem: Borders are not visible. Solution: Verify "Enable Bottom Border" is toggled ON for the specific counter item, and check that the border color contrasts with your background.
Problem: Animation is too fast or too slow. Solution: Adjust the Animation Duration setting. 2000ms is the default; try 3000ms for slower or 1000ms for faster.
Problem: Large numbers cause layout issues. Solution: Use abbreviations with suffixes (1M instead of 1000000) or reduce the number of columns.
