Each time you want a number in the sequence, you insert the same field. To
have it display the number in Roman Numerals, you would add the \* ROMAN
switch

So with the display of field codes toggled on, your fields would be like

{ SEQ List1 \* ROMAN } Item 1
{ SEQ List1 \* ROMAN } Item 2
{ SEQ List1 \* ROMAN } Item 3

When you toggle off the display of field codes, (and update the fields if
necessary), you will have

I Item 1
II Item 2
III Item 3

Note, if you are entering the fields directly from the keyboard rather than
from the Insert Field dialog, you must use Ctrl+F9 to insert each pair of
field delimiters { }

Thanks Doug. So if I want the first field output to be "I" and then the
next
to be "II" how would the syntax differ from the first to the second and
how
do I select the Roman formatting? Sorry for the novice questions. New to
the use of fields. Thanks again.

SEQ fields must have an identifier that is the same for all fields in the
one sequence

{ SEQ List1 }

for example.

I am trying to assign sequential section #'s to selected text in my
document.
I am using the Insert, Field menu to select SEQ and the result is an
error
message, "Error! No sequence specified". I would like to begin the
numbering
at I and then have it increment by one for each new "section" I
identify
within the document. How would I do this? Thank you in advance for
your
cooperation.
