#### 6.7.5.2 Converting autonumbers to Word SEQ fields

To convert FrameMaker 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, Mif2Go converts FrameMaker autonumbers to Word SEQ fields.

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

If you find that non-numbered paragraphs also get numbered when you set WriteAnums=Yes and SeqAnums=Yes, look at the FrameMaker numbering properties of the format(s) in question. Sometimes people add numbering properties such as A:< =0> to the Body paragraph format, for example, to reset numbering for list formats; Mif2Go does not add numbering beyond what is specified in your FrameMaker document.

To eliminate unwanted autonumbers, you can import a FrameMaker conversion template to change the definitions of formats that should not be numbered in RTF output; see §2.4 Importing formats from a conversion template.

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.
