Using SEQ fields
in [Document Management]
|
Prev: text form field in a cell
Next: AutoText/Correct
From: Amy on 26 Apr 2010 14:25 I posted another question on this topic last week but can't seem to find the thread now... I need to insert a numbered list of procedural steps into a document but I've already created one multilevel numbered list for my headings. I was told to use the SEQ field as an autotext entry. I thought I could figure that out on my own but after a few days of playing with it I'm drawing a blank. Can someone please explain it or point me to another thread that already explains the steps involved? Thanks so very much!
From: Suzanne S. Barnhill on 26 Apr 2010 14:56 Just insert the desired SEQ field in the document, then select it and press Alt+F3. Accept the offered entry name or type a different one. Whenever you type the first few characters of the entry name, you'll be prompted to insert the entry (assuming this is Word 2003 or earlier).

From: Stefan Blom on 27 Apr 2010 04:59 To insert a SEQ field you can do the following: Press Ctrl+F9; Word creates field delimiters, { }. Type in the code. For example, { SEQ test \s 1 } would create a sequential number (identified as "test") restarted by Heading 1 paragraphs. To update the field at the insertion point, press F9. To force an update on all SEQ fields, switch to Print Preview and then back to your favorite view. To show/hide field codes, press Alt+F9. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Suzanne S.

From: Amy on 4 May 2010 15:07 Okay, I hate to sound totally stupid, but I've played with my document for a few days and can't quite figure this out... I entered the SEQ field as detailed below, but how do I save this as a style or an auto text entry? And is it possible to create a SEQ field that has the formatting I need? Specifically, I need a period and a tab to follow the number. Oh, in case I haven't mentioned it already, I am using Word 2007. Thanks tons!

You can't save it as a style. To save it as an AutoText entry, select the inserted field, press Alt+F3, and give it a name. When you want to insert the field, type the beginning of the entry name and, if you get an AutoComplete tip, press Enter; otherwise, press F3.
