This has saved me much hell in auto-numbering and bullets in Word - http://www.tech-tav.com/macro.htm. They are free macros from tech-tav (authorIT producers) that automate autonumbering, bullets, etc. in Word. They work like a charm and they are based on Framemaker principles. All my

From: Jeremy H. Griffith [EMAIL PROTECTED] snip The drawback WRT maintenance in Word is that you have to copy the SEQ fields from another para of the same type, or painfully recreate them by hand, for new paras; you can't include SEQ fields (or bullets) in the para format as such. Back in
