Customizing number format

[jbc]

I need to create a document that has customized paragraph numbering. It
needs to look like this:

[0001]
[0002] etc.

I don't see a way to customize Word's paragraph numbering feature and was
thinking that a field code might be an option.

Any suggestions? I'm using Word 2000.

Thanks.

You can't accomplish this with autonumbering, but you can with a SEQ field
using a numeric picture switch.

What would be a good strategy to automate putting in the SEQ field? Most of
the paragraphs will have them. Is there a way to tie it into the use of a
style?

Thanks.

Not a style, but you could use AutoText (formatted with the given style).

The following field code: { SEQ test \# "[0000]" } would give you four digit
numbers (surrounded by brackets) with leading zeroes as required, surrounded
by brackets.

Note that the field delimiters {} must be entered by pressing CTRL+F9. Also
note that "test" is the name of the SEQuence. You can use a different name,
if you like.
