Default Outline Numbering with 6 Digits

I use the outline numbering for specification documents in the construction
industry. They are changing the numbering system to 6 digits, and I use
level 1 as this number. I can't get it to let me go beyond 5 digits, and I
can't create pseudo options that don't end up starting the outline number in
a 0 as some point, and it won't print the zero. Any help?

You'll probably have to abandon the outline numbering and think of something
else - maybe SEQ fields eg
{ SEQ Level1 \r 100000 \# ,0}
The above example starts numbering from 100,000 and the \# ,0 adds the comma
after the 100. You can have multiple lists as long as you name them
differently. Saving the fields as autotext/autocorrect entries will speed up
insertion. Note the fields will not update automatically - you will have to
force an update - see the code at http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm

or a LISTNUM fields eg
{ LISTNUM \s 100000}
