Word does not do this "out of the box", but to do the the employee/task
merge, in the general case I would look at macropod's material in the
first instance. I quote one of his messages:
"check out my Word 97-2007 Catalogue/Directory Mailmerge Tutorial at:
http://www.wopr.com/index.php?showtopic=731107
or
http://www.gmayor.com/Zips/Catalogue%20Mailmerge.zip
Do read the tutorial before trying to use the mailmerge document
included with it."
Off the top of my head I could not tell you whether macropod covers
numbered lists, but if not,
a. Word's automatic paragraph numbering may work, but I suspect it
would be difficult to get right
b. if it does not work, you should be able to number paragraphs by
inserting a { SEQ } field at the beginning of the "task" line. You might
for example use the field code
{ SEQ task \r0 }
to reset the task numbering for each letter
and
{ SEQ task }
or
{ SEQ task \*Arabic }
to insert the number of each paragraph.
