{ AUTONUMLGL [Switches ] }

Automatically numbers paragraphs for legal and technical publications. The AUTONUMLGL field is provided for compatibility with Microsoft Word 2000 and earlier versions.

 Note   It is recommended that you use the LISTNUM field in place of the AUTONUMLGL field when using Microsoft Office Word 2007, Word 2003, and Word 2002.

Use the built-in heading styles (heading style: Formatting applied to a heading. Microsoft Word has nine different built-in styles: Heading 1 through Heading 9.) to format headings in the document, and then insert an AUTONUMLGL field at the beginning of each heading paragraph. The numbers reflect the heading levels that correspond to the heading styles. If you insert an AUTONUMLGL field in paragraphs of body text (paragraphs not formatted with built-in heading styles), the number of the preceding heading is included in the paragraph number. For example, if the preceding heading is numbered 1.2.3, paragraphs of body text are numbered 1.2.3.1, 1.2.3.2, 1.2.3.3, and so on.

  Notes  

• You cannot manually update an AUTONUMLGL field.
• Word doesn't display the result of an AUTONUMLGL field if the field is nested within an IF field.
