I have a mail merge document in which I have some hidden paragraphs. I need
for the numbering of the paragraphs to change depending if the paragraph is
displayed. I have tried SEQ, LISTNUM, AUTONUM but cannot seem to get the
fields to number. I have read that the LISTNUM does not display a field
result if it is nested in an IF field. I placed it inside the SET statement
with my paragraph and the number still does not display. Does anyone out
there have any idea. I am so tired of looking for this solution!

There might be a way to do this, but I ssupect that the only way to do it is
to physically remove any paragraphs that are formatted as "Hidden", e.g.
using find/replace to repalce Hidden text by nothing.
