#### 6.7.5.1 Understanding autonumbering options in Word

By default, Mif2Go converts FrameMaker autonumbers to text in Word output; this is consistent with the objective of providing read-only output for Word. See §6.1 Converting to Word: a one-way street.

Instead of converting autonumbers to plain text, you can have Mif2Go do either of the following:

Convert autonumbers to Word SEQ fields

Replace autonumbers with Word native numbering.

Convert autonumbers to Word SEQ fields

If you are migrating FrameMaker documents to Word instead of using Word only for review, converting FrameMaker autonumbers to Word SEQ fields gives you “live” autonumbers in Word. Unlike Word style sheet-based numbering, Word SEQ fields are stable, and can represent any FrameMaker autonumber sequence. You get a flexible numbering system in Word that gives you exactly what you want, rather than the limited options available from the Word Bullets and Numbering dialog. See §6.7.5.2 Converting autonumbers to Word SEQ fields.

Replace autonumbers with Word native numbering

You can have Mif2Go apply a Word template that replaces FrameMaker autonumbers with Word style sheet-based autonumbers; however, this method is not supported, and not recommended. FrameMaker has much more reliable and flexible autonumbering than Word, and only in the most trivial cases can you duplicate FrameMaker numbering using Word native autonumbering. See §6.7.5.3 Converting autonumbers via Word style sheet.
