Defining a new Number Style

I wish to define a number style for paragraph numbering using a [000#] format in Word 2003. The idea is that upon reaching 10 in the list the number is displayed as [0010] and then 100 as [0100] etc. However, in the options to customize numbering in bullets and numbering, the closest style I can find is "01", where using [00"01"] for example returns [00100] when 100 is reached - not what I want

Is there any way I can modify the number style, or do I need to define a field (would rather not)?
 
I'm afraid you need to use SEQ fields for what you're
trying to accomplish. The following field:

{ SEQ test \# "[0000]" }

should do the trick.

Note that in order to insert the field delimiters, { },
you need to press CTRL+F9; once the delimiters are in
place, simply type the instructions shown above. Also note
that the "test" part is the name of the SEQ sequence; it
can be any name of your choice. Always choose a name that
makes sense to you! Finally, don't forget that fact that
SEQ fields do not update automatically. In order to update
these fields, select them and then press F9.
