#### 15.3.3 Converting autonumbered formats

To convert DITA2Go autonumbers to Word SEQ fields, set the following options:

    [WordOptions]
    ; WriteAnums = Yes (default, write per SeqAnums) or No (omit entirely,
    ; used when having a Word style sheet add them for selected styles)
    WriteAnums = Yes
    ; SeqAnums = No (default, write as text) or Yes (write as SEQ fields)
    SeqAnums = Yes

When WriteAnums=Yes (the default) and SeqAnums=Yes, DITA2Go adds numbering prefixes to text paragraphs as SEQ fields, according to numbering properties you assign to paragraph formats (see §8.5 Configuring output numbering properties) and format definitions you specify in a format configuration file (see §7.5 Understanding text output formats).

When WriteAnums=No, the value of SeqAnums is ignored, and DITA2Go-supplied numbering is omitted in favor of whatever Word stylesheet you supply. This is not a recommended option, because Word style-based numbering is very problematic.

By default, the tabs included in autonumber formats (see §8.5 Configuring output numbering properties), are 1/4" or 18pt wide. To specify a different width, in points:

    [WordOptions]
    ; AnumTabWidth = width in points for anum/xref tab spacing, default
    ; 1/4", for the tabs specified in [*Formats]; used only for drxml
    AnumTabWidth = 18

To insert a new item in a SEQ field-based autonumber sequence in Word, the best practice is to copy and paste an instance of that number style, either from the same sequence or from a Word template. You cannot include in a Word style SEQ fields (or bullets) as such.
