Hi Stefan:
Thanks for that but I still need to delve a little further. My mutli list
is linked to styles so that it's completely automatic - I haven't used
bookmarks or anything else that an author needs to add in as you go. The
reason for this is that the mutli list is in a template which will be used by
hundreds of people with varying degree of Word skill. Therefore, I'm still
confused as to where in the document I need to add these fields i.e. do I go
into developer and add the field in there or do I add the field next to each
multi-list entry?
Thanks,

To enter field codes in your document, first press Ctrl+F9 to insert field
delimiters, { }, and then type the code (note that you cannot type the braces
from the keyboard). Press F9 to update. Use Alt+F9 to show/hide field codes.
To duplicate a certain field code, you can use copy and paste (be sure to
update it, for example by toggling Print Preview).

Hi Doug & Stefan:
Many thanks for your responses. Methinks I may have bitten off more than I
can chew! I now have the code (thanks to you) ... question is, where do I
put it? Is this something I need to create in Visual Basics?
Thanks heaps,

To add to what Doug has said, note that SEQ fields don't update
automatically. You can force an update by switching to Print Preview and
then back to your favorite view (use Ctrl+F2 as a toggle). Also, you can
explicitly update the fields in the selection by pressing F9.

Howdy:
I'm numbering the appendices using a multi-level list. The first level
uses
Alphas where the number of appendices goes beyond Z i.e.
A
B
C ....
X
Y
Z
AA
BB
CC ...
ZZ
Is there any way that I can change the format so that when the list
reaches
Z, the numbering continues as follows:
A
B
C ...
X
Y
Z
AA
AB
AC ...
Thanks,
