Default Duplicate autonumbering

Hi All,

Can't seem to wrap my head around this problem.

I'm drafting a template (.dotx) using forms and autonumbers.

The purpose of the template is that I can quickly create a series of cover pages for annexures.

The page reads:

Quote:
In the matter of NAME
“AAA-01”
This is the Annexure marked with the letters “AAA-01” referred to in the Affidavit of NAME sworn/affirmed on the DAY day of MONTH 2015.
All items in capitals are forms. The document is to be later protected so only forms can be edited.

I would like it to have the following properties:
Once the forms are filled in, a user can continue tabbing or perhaps press enter and a new page will be created with the same text but with "AAA-01" updated to "AAA-02". I've made the "01" an autonumber so after I update fields the second page does turn to "02". However, I would also like the in-text reference to be the same as the head reference. So on page one you would have AAA-01 and AAA-01. Page 2 would be AAA-02 and AAA-02.

The initial AAA is a bookmark which updates all subsequent ones via cross-reference.

For the leading zero in the autonumber I use field code: SEQ MyList \# "00"
