Numbers to appear at the cursor...
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. |

Do you mean besides just typing the number? Try a { SEQ } field.

Yes..I am not familiar with fields. How do I do that? Is that the same as a
"list num"? "garfield-n-odie" wrote in message ... Do you mean besides just typing the number? Try a { SEQ } field. ~D~ wrote: If I wanted a number to appear at the cursor how would I insert it.

No, SEQ is not the same as LISTNUM, except that both are fields. What
does Word Help say about SEQ fields? ~D~ wrote: Yes..I am not familiar with fields. How do I do that? Is that the same as a "list num"? "garfield-n-odie" wrote in message ...

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. -- Suzanne S.

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. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...

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)? -- Suzanne S.

1. Press Ctrl+F9. This will insert a pair of field delimiters. They look
like braces, but you can't type them from the keyboard. 2. Between the braces, type "SEQ something" (without the quotation marks). 3. Press F9. You should see a 1. 4. Select the number and copy it somewhere later in your document than the first number. 5. Paste it. Select it and press F9. You should see a 2. Is this what you want? -- Suzanne S.

Suzanne,
Thank you so much for the clarification..I couldn't understand what was expected after "SEQ"..I just wasn't getting it. The "help" feature just wasn't clicking in my mind..so out of frustration I just gave up..but you wouldn't let me. I said "I'm just going to type in "something" because I don't know what is supposed to go there..and I typed SEQ "something" and the number appeared. Thank you for your help..and patience!

To clarify further, the "something" can be *anything,* but usually the best
thing is to use an identifier that will really identify your sequence. Word already uses Equation, Figure, and Table to identify SEQ fields when you use the Insert | Caption feature; you can add new labels for captions, and Word keeps track of them the same way. You can have as many different sequences as you like; you just give each one a different identifier, and Word keeps track of their sequential numbering independently. -- Suzanne S.
