SEQ numbering within IF fields in Word 2003

[Andrew Emmans]

Hi,

I have a template I am developing which uses the SEQ field to auto number
the paragraphs. However, a number of these paragraphs are within IF fields,
so that if certain conditions are met/not met then they do not get output
into the document when ran.

Unfortunately, the SEQ number (which is also in the IF) is still getting
set. So for example;

IF is true =

1. paragraph one
2. paragraph two
3. paragraph three
4. paragraph four

IF is false =

1. paragraph one
4. paragraph four

What I need to see is (IF false) =

1. paragraph one
2. paragraph four

How can I prevent the SEQ from being set if the IF is false?

Thanks

SEQ fields do not seem to work well when nested within conditional fields.

Perhaps you can use AutoText entries for the data and insert the appropriate
AutoText based on the result of the comparison in the IF field?
