Without that, you'd need a macro to go through all the fields looking for the SEQ field code pertaining to your numbering.
I actually fiddled around with that a little. There were 2 problems I couldn't resolve:
  1. I didn't see a way to get the list to show the actual equation. It just showed the caption text.
  2. It seemed to require that I put the caption in a separate line before or after the equation line. I want to put it on the same line on the right.
I would like to have the equations in the document look like this:

Code:
some text....
    a = b + 1                    (1)
some text.... based on equation (1)...
    c = pi x r^2                 (2)
some text.... combining equations (1) & (2)...
    E = mc^2                     (3)
some text....
And then get a list that looks like this:


Code:
              Table of Equations
(1)  a = b + 1.....................7
(2)  c = pi x r^2.................23
(3)  E = mc^2.....................37
I couldn't get it to do that. Is there a way?
