You have to choose an identifier for your sequence. For example, a proper
SEQ field could be { SEQ Equation } or { SEQ Table }. You can have as many
different numbering sequences as you like, each with a different name. This
is spelled out very clearly in the "Field codes: Seq (Sequence) field" Help
topic. Did you expand all the subheads in the topic (Instructions, Switches,
Examples)?

I keep getting "Error: No Sequence Specified"
I clicked on "Insert, Field" chose "SEQ" "Options" and added *.arabic"
that
didn't work so I tried Seq/n and I still get Error no sequence specified.

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.
