Creating "Inline Lists" in Word 2016
I have been having a problem figuring out how to create an inline list.
EXAMPLE: This is an inline list with A) item one, B) item 2 and 3) item three, all labeled automatically. Now, I can create a list as simple or far more complex using LaTeX with ease. I cannot find out any way to accomplish it in WORD 2016. I did find an online example; however, it did not work with my version of WORD, plus it required far too much effort. Is there an easy way to accomplish this feat? I have noticed that Microsoft is finally getting smart and has started using LaTeX math functions in WORD. Perhaps they should start importing more useful procedures too. |

I saw something like this elsewhere also. A major problem with it, besides the fact that it is over complicated, is that it only pertains to "numbers". I fail to see how I can use alpha characters, either upper or lower case in this scenario.

A SEQ field can output letters or numbers; the choice is yours. Simply apply the appropriate 'picture switch'.
For example a SEQ field coded as: {SEQ Nr \* Arabic} will output numbers. the same field coded as {SEQ Nr \* alphabetic} will output lower-case letters and, coded as: {SEQ Nr \* ALPHABETIC} will output upper-case letters. Other options include: \* CardText \* Hex \* OrdText \* Ordinal \* Roman Using SEQ fields is hardly a complicated affair.
