Yes, the "ListNum field list name" can be used with LISTNUM fields. (It
may
not be 100% safe, though. For example, I'm not sure if it works reliably
when copying numbered paragraphs between documents.) But if you only use
the
field within paragraphs numbered using a particular outline-numbered
list,
you shouldn't have to specify a name in the field code.
The syntax of the LISTNUM field is this: { LISTNUM ["Name"] [Switches] }.
Basically, you can use the field to specify the level of an outline using
the \l (lowercase L) switch; you can also set a starting value using the
\s
switch. (See also

Stefan:
Thanks so much for your assistance with this. I'm sure that your
{listnum}
suggestion will work just fine, as soon as I do the necessary research
on
how
that particular field code works within MSWord.
At this point I'm thinking that it has at least a little something to
do
with naming the *ListNum field list name* option within the customize
numbering setup, which is something for which I've never had an
explanation.
I really appreciate you pointing me in the right direction in this
regard.

:
One way is to use LISTNUM fields, assuming that the "(a)" format is
part
of
the outline numbered list. For example:
1
1.1
1.2 <tab> { LISTNUM }
which would display as:
1
1.1
1.2<tab>(a)
To insert the field delimiters, { }, you can press Ctrl+F9. Type the
code
as
shown. Use F9 to display the result of the field. (Generally, Alt+F9
can
be
used to show/hide all field codes in a document.)
Another way is to use SEQ fields.
In either case, you'd manually insert the tab character, by pressing
TAB.
Note that you will have to define a tab stop at the appropriate
location.

Ladies and Gents:
I have a paragraph number sequence that is set up as:
1
1.1
(a)
However, the author of the document has requested that in several of
the
paragraphs, the second level numbering be setup as:
1.1 *tab* (a)
combining level 2 and level 3 within the same paragraph, followed
by:
*tab* (b)
*tab* (c)
*tab* (d)
1.2, etc.
Thanks so much in advance for any suggestions or recommendations.
Rod
