Numbered style bug in Word 2007?

[Stefan Blom]

SEQ fields cannot be attached to a style; what you can do is save the field
in an AutoText entry.

However, it is hard to tell which is the best approach. Since outline
numbering now works, I guess there is no reason not to use it. It is
definitely likely to be easier for users.

I looked at the link you provided (http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/
word/HP051861901033.aspx?pid=CH061047291033) and it says:

"The easiest way to insert SEQ fields to number tables, figures, and
other items in a document is to use the Caption command (Insert menu,
Reference submenu). "

In other words, I need to create an extra button for this? I wouldn't
get this style to appear along with my other styles?

In this case I find it better to include my tenth style with the
others and add an extra button for "restart numbering", which is what
I was trying to avoid in the first place.

Is this the best I can do?

Hello again,

Yes the problem is solved for now. At least the big problem that
initiated all this. But I often have many numbered lists that I need
to restart after a heading and I have many headings. The best way I
know to do this is to have many levels in a multilevel list style. It
is not uncommon that I need more than nine. And the point is that I
want these to restart numbering without any active thinking from the
user. They shouldn't have to press restart numbering, or insert an
autotext or a caption or press a certain button. I just want them to
work properly like they would if I had more levels to work with.

If anybody has a piece of code for this, I'd be happy to have it.

Thanks,

Åsa Cronqvist
