make numbers increase incrementally automatically

How can I get Word to insert the number "A". "B" etc. in my Affidavits
incrementally whenever I add a new Exhibit (and so it will renumber them if I
move them) This was so easy in WordPerfect! I tried Field Codes with AutoNum
but they didn't number correctly with the defaults there, i.e. did 1., 2.,
etc.
Is it possible to do in Word?

You can use a SEQ field. It doesn't update *automatically*, but it will
update when you print, Print Preview, or Select All and F9.

Thanks - how exactly do I do that? i.e. what switches or instructions do I
need to make it number A, B, C etc rather than 1, 2, 3.

Sorry about the two messages, I didn't realize the first one actually got
posted as my pop ups were blocked.

Use Insert | Field to insert the SEQ field and use the dialog controls to
format it, or see the Help topic "Field codes: SEQ (Sequence) field."
