using Word field "if" for a list item?
1. What if you select the document (e.g. control-A) and re-execute all the
fields (F9)?
2. Word will actually display the /current/ value of any REF field when you
re-execute it. The { = } approach only works because Word executes all the
fields sequentially from the beginnin gof the document. So at one point when
it executes { S }, it will be 1, then after the next { = } , it will be 2,
and so on. But if you actually go back and select and re-execute, that first
{ S }, it will have the same value as the last in the list.

Oops...please disregard that last post. Word seems to be occasionally
reluctant to properly update the WYSIWYG for these constructs, and I
have to toggle the preview a couple of times to get it right. I think
you've got this one whipped. Thanks a ton!
A followup question: I created and edited this file on a Mac (using
Word 2004) and then transferred it to a Windows machine (running Word
2003). All of my visible values for the list numbers were set to the
value of the final list element (13 in this case). Any ideas?
