AutoNum field in 2003

Jack_Feeman

I have two tables that are separated by a blank line. I need to use AutoNum
fields in each table; each starting with the number 1. I have read the help
and other questions here, but everything I have tried is to no avail. I have
tried formatting the first blank line before the Table Heading as Heading 2
(style was modified but name remains Heading 2). The first blank line before
the second Table Heading was formatted as Heading 3 (style was also modified
but name remains Heading 3).
According to Help this was suppposed to work.

I also tried the SEQ field but numbers do not auto advance. And ListNum
doesn't do it either.

Is there an undocumented switch I could add to the field to make it restart
the numbering in the second table? Is there a VB solution I could use instead
of using fields?

Thanks
Jack

Use two sequence number fields
In the first table use
{SEQ myseq1} and in the second {SEQ myseq2}
If you toggle the field display ALT+F9 you can use replace to change the
sequence names in the second table.
