Inserting SEQ Fields
I am trying to assign sequential section #'s to selected text in my document.
I am using the Insert, Field menu to select SEQ and the result is an error message, "Error! No sequence specified". I would like to begin the numbering at I and then have it increment by one for each new "section" I identify within the document. How would I do this? Thank you in advance for your cooperation. |

Inserting SEQ Fields
SEQ fields must have an identifier that is the same for all fields in the
one sequence { SEQ List1 } for example. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.

Inserting SEQ Fields
Thanks Doug. So if I want the first field output to be "I" and then the next
to be "II" how would the syntax differ from the first to the second and how do I select the Roman formatting? Sorry for the novice questions. New to the use of fields. Thanks again.

Inserting SEQ Fields
Each time you want a number in the sequence, you insert the same field. To
have it display the number in Roman Numerals, you would add the \* ROMAN switch So with the display of field codes toggled on, your fields would be like { SEQ List1 \* ROMAN } Item 1 { SEQ List1 \* ROMAN } Item 2 { SEQ List1 \* ROMAN } Item 3 When you toggle off the display of field codes, (and update the fields if necessary), you will have I Item 1 II Item 2 III Item 3 Note, if you are entering the fields directly from the keyboard rather than from the Insert Field dialog, you must use Ctrl+F9 to insert each pair of field delimiters { } -- Hope this helps.

Inserting SEQ Fields
Thanks Doug that worked. If I would like to place a "." after each of the
Roman Numberals and a tab so that there is a separation btw. the section number and the title, can I use the SEQ field to do this or is there another option? Appreciate your assistance.

Inserting SEQ Fields
Select such a field and the "." and a Tab space and create an Autotext entry
or an AutoCorrect entry to do it. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.
