If you search for "SEQ field," the first hit is the topic for "Field codes:
Seq (Sequence) field." Although it does say that the *easiest* way to insert
a SEQ field is to use a caption, there is much more in that Help topic. Try
using Insert | Field: Seq.

It said to use "Insert, Reference, Caption"..all I want is the number not
the word "figure" or "table".
Thank you.

No, SEQ is not the same as LISTNUM, except that both are fields. What
does Word Help say about SEQ fields?

Yes..I am not familiar with fields. How do I do that? Is that the same
as a
"list num"?

Do you mean besides just typing the number? Try a { SEQ } field.

If I wanted a number to appear at the cursor how would I insert it.
Using
bullets/numbering gives me alignmant, formatting which is what I
don't
want.
Here is an example:
Text text text (insert #1) text text text (insert #2)
Text text text text text text text text text text (insert #3)
text text text text text text text text text text (insert#4)
Thanks in advance.
