Hi, just wondering whether/how it is possible to replace one field (in my case,
{AUTONUMLGL} with a {SEQ} field? I have a template that's got the normal auto-numbering and now have to do one starting with a specific number. Thanks, Ann -- Gave up and just did a lot of pasting, but would love to know for next time. Last edited by kilroyscarnival; 05-17-2024 at 07:31 AM. Reason: updated |

Yes.
If you have your document set to display field codes, you can run replace for what is in the field. Replace Find: AUTONUMLGL with SEQ I do not think this will be all that helpful, though since the fields have different switches. vba would probably be required. For me, this would not be simple. |

You can create a SEQ field and copy it to the clipboard. Display field codes with Alt+F9 (or Alt+Fn+F9 on some keyboards).
Then search for: ^d AUTONUMLGL and replace with: ^c The latter represents the clipboard content.
