Try this...

For the first item in a NUMBERED list:
   { SEQ numlist \# "0" \r 1 \* MERGEFORMAT }

For the other items in a NUMBERED list:

   { SEQ numlist \# "0" \n \* MERGEFORMAT }

For the first item in a LETTERED list:

   { SEQ ltrlist \* alphabetic \r 1 \* MERGEFORMAT }

For the other items in a LETTERED list:

   { SEQ ltrlist \* alphabetic \n \* MERGEFORMAT }

Of course, you don't have to name them "numlist" and "ltrlist."

But if you always use the same names, you'll never get errors with
overlapping lists.  I put each in a uniquely named autotext entry, and now

LISTS ARE NO PROBLEM IN WORD.
