Word 2010 SEQ Field codes increment

Anonymous

I cannot find the reference for field codes and their parameters anywhere.

I have a list of 

{seq numlist \r120 }

{seq numlist|}

\r sets the start value

Is there a code so I can increment the value by 2, 5 or 10?

like \i10?

Thanks

Instead of trying to increment the SEQ fields in multiples, simply embed them in a formula field, thus:

{={SEQ NumList}*$ # 0}

where $ is the desired multiple.

    If I wanted to count by 5

    0

    5

    10

    15

    20...

    Or by 2, 2,4,6,8?

    I can count by 10 base units because I can put the sequence and just trail zeros after it

    1

    2

    becomes

    10

    20

    30

    Hi,

    The Word 2010 provides an SEQ field in helping you create broken numbered lists. Regarding your concern about the SEQ field codes, can you provide us a screenshot of the possible outcome that you'd like?

    In the meantime, we've found an article about the Sequence field in Word 2010 that contains information on how to use the different syntax that may assist you in your concern. You may check the article here.

    We'll keep an eye out for your response.
