I am desperate. I am writing a book and I use the standard list numbering to
notate where a figure should be placed in the book. This works great as it
auto updates when I add, remove, or move the figures. What I need is the
simple ability to place a field in the body text that is nothing more than a
number (1,2,3...) that auto updates. I have messed with everything and all I
can get at are things designed to be in a nice neat list. I need these
numbers spread all over the text of a long document. The only requirment is a
that they sequentially number themselves.

Thanks in advance
