SEQ Field in Footnote?

[ML]

Is there anyway to get a SEQ field inserted into a footnote? I have tried
this but get an error that it is for main document only.

Any ideas/suggestions on your to accomplish this? I need to be able to
insert autotext entries for classification markers that use SEQ in them.

The LISTNUM field will work in footnotes and headers/footers. Use {
LISTNUM LegalDefault \L 1 } to get . . .
1.
2.
3.

Thanks but I need to use SEQ numbers. It is for a page level tag to mark
security classifications.

A bit clumsy, but it might work:

Insert the SEQ field in the text, right next to the footnote reference.
Format it as "hidden" and put a bookmark on it.

In the footnote itself, use a cross-reference to that bookmark.

Ingenious solution!

Let me add as a postscript that the SEQ field *can* be used in
footnotes, headers/footers and endnotes when it contains the \c switch
to repeat SEQ numbering which appears in the main body. This is
especially helpful when you need page numbering like A-1 for Appendix A
and you've run out of Heading styles, which "Include chapter"
automatically.

In that case, you hide a SEQ field somewhere on the first page of the
Appendix, then in the footer use { SEQ Appx \c }-{ PAGE }.

In the TOC field, add \s Appx at the end and the A-1 will appear in the
TOC. Warning: you need separate TOC fields for each set of compound
page numbers; otherwise the non-compound numbers will come out as 0.

Fiendishly clever!

Thanks but it is too clumsy for the end users. Needs to be as simple as
possible. Hidden markers are just a headache to use and remove.
