Field codes: AutoNum field

Microsoft Office Word 2003

\s
Defines the separator character, which you place directly after the switch.

Notes

  • In paragraphs that are formatted with the built-in heading styles, Word restarts the numbering at 1 in each successive heading level. If headings that contain AUTONUM fields are followed by body text paragraphs that also contain AUTONUM fields, Word restarts the numbering of the body text at 1 after each heading. If the headings don't contain AUTONUM fields, body text paragraphs that contain AUTONUM fields are numbered in a continuous, sequential series throughout the document.
  • You cannot manually update an AUTONUM field.
  • The result of an AUTONUM field isn't displayed if the field is nested within an IF field.
