Each SEQ field has an identifier (or a name) that determines which list it
belongs to. For example:
{ SEQ test }
{ SEQ test }
would display
1
2
(assuming these are the only fields with the "test" identifier in a given
document).
If the fields are copied into a different document which already has SEQ
fields with the same identifier, you would see a renumbering of items, after
updating the fields.
Within a SEQuence, you can restart the numbering by using the \r switch
(this is used in the add-in previously mentioned).
It is probably a good idea to make some tests (on copies of the document)
before using the fields, to find out how they work.
Lycka till!

Field codes: Seq (Sequence) field
{ SEQ Identifier [Bookmark ] [Switches ] }
Sequentially numbers chapters, tables, figures, and other items in a
document. If you add, delete, or move an item and its respective SEQ field,
you can update remaining SEQ fields in the document to reflect the new
sequence.
The LISTNUM field also produces automatic numbering and may be a better
alternative if you are creating a complex numbered list.
The easiest way to insert SEQ fields to number tables, figures, and other
items in a document is to use the Caption command (Insert menu, Reference
submenu).
Note A SEQ field in a header, footer (header and footer: A header, which
can consist of text or graphics, appears at the top of every page in a
section. A footer appears at the bottom of every page. Headers and footers
often contain page numbers, chapter titles, dates, and author names.),
annotation, or footnote doesn't affect the sequence numbering that results
from SEQ fields in the document text.
Instructions
Identifier
The name you assign to a series of items to number. The name must start with
a letter and is limited to 40 characters (letters, numbers, and underscores).
For example, the name for a series of tables might be "tables."
Bookmark
Include a bookmark (bookmark: A location or selection of text in a file that
you name for reference purposes. Bookmarks identify a location within your
file that you can later refer or link to.) name to refer to an item elsewhere
in the document. For example, to cross-reference an illustration, mark the
SEQ field numbering for that illustration with the bookmark "Pic2," and then
insert a cross-reference to it using { SEQ illust Pic2 }.
Switches
\c
Repeats the closest preceding sequence number. This is useful for inserting
chapter numbers in headers or footers.
\h
Hides the field result (field results: Text or graphics inserted in a
document when Microsoft Word carries out a field's instructions. When you
print the document or hide field codes, the field results replace the field
codes.). Use it to refer to a SEQ field in a cross-reference without printing
the number. For example, you might want to refer to a numbered chapter but
not print the chapter number. The \h switch doesn't hide the field result if
a Format (\*) switch is also present.
\n
Inserts the next sequence number for the specified items. This is the default.
\r n
Resets the sequence number to the specified number n. For example, { SEQ
figure \r 3 } starts figure numbering at 3.
\s
Resets the sequence number at the heading level following the "s". For
example, { SEQ figure \s 2 } starts numbering at the Heading 2 style (style:
A combination of formatting characteristics, such as font, font size, and
indentation, that you name and store as a set. When you apply a style, all of
the formatting instructions in that style are applied at one time.).
Examples
If you didn't use styles (style: A combination of formatting
characteristics, such as font, font size, and indentation, that you name and
store as a set. When you apply a style, all of the formatting instructions in
that style are applied at one time.) to format document headings, you can
number chapter headings by inserting a SEQ field at the beginning of each
chapter:
The text and field "Chapter { SEQ chapter }" produces a result such as
"Chapter 3."
To print the chapter number in a header or footer, use the \c switch:
Page { SEQ chapter \c } - { PAGE } produces a result such as "Page 3 - 1".
