Word numbering best practice question?

[Geoff Hart]

Sean Brierley wondered: <<Numbering in Word (2003)--if reference  
fields and VBA are not an option--what's the best way to set up list  
numbering for styles that are used for procedures and not for  
headings (using the Word GUI)?>>

Can't use fields? Create the lists in Frame, and import them at the  
last possible second before you ship the documentation. <g>

The gold standard for numbering in Word is still Dave Knopf's {SEQ}  
field workaround:

I haven't seen any proposed method that works better or more easily,  
and haven't seen this document updated since it first appeared on the  
Web, so I assume it's still your best bet.
