Hi,

I'm writing a large document. In the end, it will probably be in the order of 300 to 500 pages. Normally, I would write such documents in Framemaker because of its outstanding stability but now I'm unfortunately stuck to WinWord due to company rules.

Anyway, in section 2 of the document, I have to list all support documents with the document number and title as indicated below under "Starting format". In total, there will be some 100 - 200 support documents listed.

Now I want to number the documents according to the groupe they belong to, i.e. someting like [Ref S1], [Ref S2] and so on, see "Desired fromat" below.

In the document itself, I would then like to refer to these documents like "...for details see [Ref S1] and ....."

Generally, I think it would be possible to use the SEQ field but and ideally, the abbreviation used in the field "S", "AA", "DA" etc. is automatically taken from the description above, e.g. "System Engineering (S)" before the list of documents. Maybe this has to be formatted in a certain way to allow this.

Anybody with any good ideas how this can be done in a robust way.
