 SEQ Identifier [Bookmark ] [Switches]
 Sequentially numbers chapters, tables, figures, and other items in a document. If you add, delete, or move an item and its respective SEQ field, you can update remaining SEQ fields in the document to reflect the new sequence.

 identifierThe name you assign to a series of items to number
The name must start with a letter and is limited to 40 characters (letters, numbers, and underscores)
For example, the name for a series of tables might be "tables."
 bookmarkInclude a bookmark name to refer to an item elsewhere in the document
For example, to cross-reference an illustration, mark the SEQ field numbering for that illustration with the bookmark "Pic2," and then insert a cross-reference to it using { SEQ illust Pic2 }.
 switches 
 \cRepeats the closest preceding sequence number
This is useful for inserting chapter numbers in headers or footers.
 \hHides the field result
Use it to refer to a SEQ field in a cross-references without printing the number
For example, you might want to refer to a numbered chapter but not print the chapter number
The \h switch doesn't hide the field result if a Format (\*) switch is also present.
 \nInserts the next sequence number for the specified items
This is the default.
 \r nResets the sequence number to the specified number n
For example, { SEQ figure \r 3 } starts figure numbering at 3.
 \sResets the sequence number at the heading level following the "s"
For example, { SEQ figure \s 2 } starts numbering at the Heading 2 style.


 REMARKS
 
  • The easiest way to insert SEQ fields to number tables, figures, and other items in a document is to use the Caption command (Insert menu, Reference submenu).
  •  
  • The LISTNUM field also produces automatic numbering and may be a better alternative if you are creating a complex numbered list.
  •  
  • A SEQ field in a header, footer, annotation, or footnote doesn't affect the sequence numbering that results from SEQ fields in the document text.
  •  
  • If you didn't use styles to format document headings, you can number chapter headings by inserting a SEQ field at the beginning of each chapter:
