Question 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 know nothing of LaTex.

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.

You need to look before you reject an idea.

See also my revised initial response for another possible method. SEQ fields are probably easiest.
You could save a sample as an AutoText entry as noted in the article originally referenced.
