WD97: Setting Sequence Numbering Using a Bookmark (72767)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Word 97 for Windows
This article was previously published under Q72767

SUMMARY

You can use the {SET} statement to set the sequence numbering in a {SEQ \r} statement in a Microsoft Word document.

MORE INFORMATION

The \r switch used in a sequence field resets the sequence number to the number following the \r. You can also use a bookmark with a numeric value in this field. The SET variable is considered a bookmark after the SET field is updated. (The field can be updated by pressing F9 while the field is selected.) In the following example, the bookmark {year} is set to 1992 at the beginning of the document. The {SEQ} field starts the sequence number at {year}, which results in 1992.

Note that the variable {year} becomes a bookmark that must be contained in field code brackets when used. 
Example                 Result
-------                 ------

{set year 1992}
{SEQ yr \r{year}}       1992
{SEQ yr}                1993
{SEQ yr}                1994
