RE: Numbering in MS Word 2003 using SEQ and LISTNUM

[<kathleen -at- writefortheuser -dot- com>]

Trish, you might try looking through Tech Republic. I did a search on
numbering in word and found quite a few articles. You might want to try
a better search term to filter through all the results, which do include
ones for Word 2003
