You mean you're currently using DOS Word and are thinking of moving to Word for
Windows? If you use the "auto numbering" in WinWord, then you don't have to do
anything - it renumbers for you.
If you use fields (such as an SEQ), then Ctrl+A, F9 will force the fields to
update, including the numbering.

Can you help with renumbering just one page of the set list, there are 6
pages total. And, Office renumbers everyone of them instead of just set 1,
or set 2, etc.

I perform 60 songs per night. I have 4 different performance sets. Each
set has it's own list. Set 1 thru set4.
I want to be able to change each of those lists independent of the next. In
other words, If I decide to remove four songs from set (page) 1, and ad two
songs to set (page) two, each set should relect the number (re-number)
change starting from the number 1!
How do I do that?

Is there no simpler way to do this. I am just about to the point of
trashing this Office set-up and getting word 5 and use it in the OSX
"classic" environment, which allows one to revert to previous software
versions only useable in older systems.
This whole process you have directed me towards, is really complicated, and
after reading it, it requires using features for whixh I otherwise would
never use.
Is there a more simple way, to re-number lines on each page, independent of
the other pages???

{SEQ ASong}. The only snag is that you will have to update the fields after
any changes to ensure you have the right numbers displayed. The easiest way
to do that is to use an update macro attached to a toolbar button eg the
code at http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm . Save the SEQ field for
each sequence as an autotext entry or autocorrect entry for ease of
insertion eg save {SEQ ASong} as an autocorrect for (say) #a {SEQ BSong} as
#b etc. Type the appropriate # letter to insert a number for that sequence.
When you have finished click the update button :)

But I think using outline numbering would be much easier. You define a Set
style that is linked to Level 1 numbering. Both the number and the "Set"
prefix are part of the numbering, so you don't need any other text. You
define a Song style that is linked to the Level 2 numbering, set to restart
after Level 1. Neither style needs to have any kind of fancy formatting; it
can be just the same as Normal or Body Text except for the numbering. Adding
numbering then becomes a simple matter of applying the style, and songs will
renumber automatically as they are moved from one position or set to
another. It takes only a couple of minutes to set this up initially and zero
time to maintain afterward.
That said, there is no reason you can't equally well just apply the List
Number style to all your songs. The only hitch with that is that you have to
manually restart numbering for each set.
