Re: Word Templates & Numbered Lists - VBA? SEQ?

Several of us have posted instructions on using SEQ fields to produce
absolutely dependable numbered lists.  Unfortunately, I can't find ANY of
them in the Techwr-L archives  <:(  so here's one I posted...

======================================================================
Here's how to get solid numbered lists every time:

For the first item in a NUMBERED list:

  { SEQ numlist \# "0" \r 1 \* MERGEFORMAT }


For the other items in a NUMBERED list:

  { SEQ numlist \# "0" \n \* MERGEFORMAT }


For the first item in a LETTERED list:

  { SEQ ltrlist \* alphabetic \r 1 \* MERGEFORMAT }


For the other items in a LETTERED list:

  { SEQ ltrlist \* alphabetic \n \* MERGEFORMAT }


Of course, you don't have to name them "numlist" and "ltrlist."

But if you always use the same names, you'll never get errors with
overlapping lists.  I put each in a uniquely named autotext entry,
and now...

LISTS ARE NO PROBLEM IN WORD.

As for styles, create two levels of hanging-indented paragraphs, just in 
case you need to nest, like this:
1.  as dfa sdf
    a.  ads fa sdf
    b.  as dfasd fas df
2.  asd fasd fasdf

No macros, nothing complicated:  just four autotext entries and two 
paragraph styles, and you're set.
========================================================================

Hope that helps.
