Is this something you can use a SEQ field for? It won't update

Hi Suzanne,

I'm practically a newbie when it comes to MS Word (and more so with Styles
and Formatting...though I'm learning a few things thanks to your responses
:-).

I looked up SEQ in MS Help, and it led me to LISTNUM, which I think is
closer to what I'm looking for. But, I could not figure out the steps to set
up a field/column in a table with LISTNUM or SEQ.

Will appreciate it if you can outline the steps to accomplish that.

Thanks!

-Amit

Hi,

I have created a table with 3 columns in a Word document. The first column
is Serial Number. Is there a way to update the value of Serial Number in
rows automatically when I add or delete a new row in/from the middle of
the
table, instead of manually updating them?

Thanks!
