SUMMARY
=======

You can use the {SET} statement to set the sequence numbering in a {SEQ \r}
statement in a Microsoft Word document.

MORE INFORMATION
================

The \r switch used in a sequence field resets the sequence number to the number
following the \r. You can also use a bookmark with a numeric value in this
field. The SET variable is considered a bookmark after the SET field is updated.
(The field can be updated by pressing F9 while the field is selected.) In the
following example, the bookmark {year} is set to 1992 at the beginning of the
document. The {SEQ} field starts the sequence number at {year}, which results in
1992.

Note that the variable {year} becomes a bookmark that must be contained in field
code brackets when used.

Example                 Result
-------                 ------

{set year 1992}
{SEQ yr \r{year}}       1992
{SEQ yr}                1993
{SEQ yr}                1994
