Auto-numbering for multiple sequences

[Guest]

The autonum in Microsoft Word seems to work with only a single sequence. I
need multiple sequences with independent numbering. It will be something like
this:

**** (1)
------ (a)
**** (2)
**** (3)
------- (b)
------- (c)

(1),(2),(3)... and (a) (b) (c) are two independent sequences. Please advise
how this can be implemented.

Thanks.

Use different styles with numbering linked to the style and set to be
continuous.

Can you show me how this can be done in detail?

One way would be to use an outline-numbered list with Level 2 *not* set to
restart after Level 1; see

But even if you set up each list separately, the only way to link the
numbering to a style is to make it an "outline-numbered list."

I can't use numbered list because the numbers only appear on the left side. I
want the numbers appear on the right side, e.g., when you deal with
equations.

I saw in another post that the numbers can be implemented with captions. (I
mean Insert->Reference->Captions). However, the problem with this solution is
when you refer to this caption, the whole caption will copied instead of the
number only. I know there is a way to get around this by using a hidden line
break between the caption text and the number. But that seems cumbersome.

Here is the example,

You can use a borderless table instead, equation in one cell, caption in the
other.
