#### 6.7.5.3 Converting autonumbers via Word style sheet

Before attempting to use Word native autonumbering, consider the following:

• Many FrameMaker autonumber sequences cannot be represented this way.

• All FrameMaker-generated autonumbers in your document will be omitted from Word output, including autonumbers in cross-reference formats.

• Word-generated autonumbers might not be the same as the FrameMaker-generated autonumbers; the Word numbering system is notoriously buggy.

• Setting up a .dot template for style sheet-based autonumbers in Word is not a trivial exercise.

• Mif2Go does not support Word native autonumbering; if you use this method, you are on your own getting the numbers right using Word styles.

If you still want to take a chance with Word native autonumbering, make a Word template (a .dot file) with numbering set for the styles you wish; see §6.2.6 Importing a Word template. When you convert your document, Mif2Go attaches the .dot file to the Word .rtf file and makes it active.

In the Mif2Go configuration file, specify 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=No

; SeqAnums = No (default, write as text) or Yes (write as SEQ fields)

SeqAnums=No

When WriteAnums=No, Mif2Go omits FrameMaker autonumbers from RTF output, so Word style sheet autonumbers can be applied from a Word template. Autonumbers also disappear from any cross references in your document.

When WriteAnums=Yes, if you use Word autonumbering in your Word template, you will see both the Word autonumbers and the converted-to-text FrameMaker autonumbers in the output.

When you open the RTF file in Word, Select All (Ctrl-A) then update (F9), and the regular Word autonumbers should appear throughout the document. Thereafter, when you add a new numbered paragraph, the number appears automatically. You must use Ctrl-A/F9 to get the numbers that follow to update; that is how style sheet-based numbering works in Word.
