Default How do I create an ODD numbered list?

You enter the field code where you want a number.

Ok, sorry for being a bone head. But, where do I enter the script at?

Use the following field construction:

{ = { SEQ odd } * 2 - 1 }

You must use Ctrl+F9 to insert each pair for field delimiters. Alt+F9

to
toggle off the display of field codes and F9 to update the results.

Make
and autotext entry of it to facilitate its use.

If you do it this way, if you insert or delete items from the list, when

you
update the fields, the sequence will be maintained.

In my college class my instructor assigns only the odd numbered

questions.
And it must not be hand written. So I have been using Word 2003,

numbering
the list, and every time I go on to a new question I have to double

click
the
next number, click restart numbering, click customize, and then click
start
at twice. (to advance to the next odd number) Is there a way to set

Word
up
to automatically do this?
