Field codes: AutoNumOut field

{ AUTONUMOUT }

Automatically numbers paragraphs in outline style. The AUTONUMOUT field is provided for compatibility with previous versions of Microsoft Word; it is recommended that you use the LISTNUM field in place of the AUTONUMOUT field. The LISTNUM field can be incorporated into numbering from a simple or outline-numbered list, and it can be inserted anywhere in a paragraph.

Use the built-in heading styles to format headings in the document, and then insert an AUTONUMOUT field at the beginning of each heading paragraph. The numbers reflect the heading levels that correspond to the heading styles.

Notes

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