Default AutoNum Updating

If I have more than one AutoNum field in the same paragraph, they won't
update (increase in increments). If I put a paragraph break or a continuous
break between them, they will -- but I don't want to do that. Any ideas?

Default AutoNum Updating

Use Seq fields instead. Like most Word fields, Seq fields will not
*automatically* update if you later move things around, but they can be
updated manually.

Thanks, Graham. I'll need to go learn about Seq fields. Can you point me to
a good resource?
