Unique ID to WORD2007 sections

[Ganish]

Hello,
I am using WORD2007 to create large requirements documents. I have to
allow the documents users fixed ID to every requirement. The section
numbers will change whenever I edit the documents (and they are
changed, and changed, and changed...) so I have to add a macro, or VBA
application, that will allocate a unique ID from an up-counter
whenever i activate it. The order of the sequence is not mandatory,
but it is important that the numbers will no repeast, even if a number
is deleted.

can anyone help in this?

regards

Ganish

Additionally: The feature shouldbe internal to the OWRD2007 document,
because I work both on line and off line.

It is not clear where the number actually is? Is it the filename of the
document? How about appending a savedate field to what ever the number is?

place it in predefined format?

Assuming that these are individual documents, you could just use a {
savedate \@ "yyyymmdd-hh:MM:ss" } field with a formatting switch
