If they did that Stuart, they'd have to call it FrameMaker. :)

If I understand correctly there are three numbering mechanisms--the
Numbering button, suitable for memo writers; the Outline Numbering dialogs,
suitable for Word MVPs and Dr Who; and SEQ fields, suitable for tech
writers. Mixing any two of these methods in one document seems to be a
recipe for unhappiness.

Given this, I wonder why MS doesn't have toolbar buttons (and perhaps also
supply built-in list para styles) that insert these SEQ fields. In other
words, combine the simple, visible method for applying numbering with the
stable, predictable mechanism for implementing numbering.
