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.

SEQ fields must have an identifier that is the same for all fields in the
one sequence

{ SEQ List1 }

for example.

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.

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 { }

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.

Select such a field and the "." and a Tab space and create an Autotext entry
or an AutoCorrect entry to do it.
