Check the Techwr-L archives for "seq fields"--several of us have described how to use them to create numbered lists, and variations on that method whould work for any kind of numbering scheme.

The best way to find out what "variables" are available is to check the lists in the Insert Field dialog box. (I much prefer this to the individual commands like Insert Date and Time.)
There's also a lot of good information in the Help. Check the index.
HTML Indexer 4 is still the easiest way to create and maintain indexes
for web sites, intranets, HTML Help, JavaHelp, and other HTML documents.
Now with fully integrated cross-references, target frames and windows,
multiple-file output, "one-step accept" of default entries, and more!
