[dba-Tech] Word question

I'm using field codes not formulas in the way you think. :)

{ = { REF NoList } - {SEQ list \* MERGEFORMAT}}



where NoList is a bookmarked value.



This field code lets me generate a list of descending values for a list. It 
works great, but I'm stuck with that bookmarked value. Even if I tuck it in 
an out of the way place, it still prints.


Enjoy the last of your long vacation!
