Sequence
Bookmark name
Description
seq bib
bib_xx
for bibliography entries
seq equ
equ_xx
for equations (note 1)
seq fig
fig_xx
for figures (note 1)
seq tab
tab_xx
for tables (note 1)
NOTE 1:
Reset the sequence numbering to one for the first item of each annex of a 3GPP TS or 3GPP TR by using the switch \r1 (e.g. { seq fig \r1 }).
NOTE 2:
"xx" represents the identifier for the particular object concerned, e.g. fig_ProcessControl. Do not use bookmarks of the form "fig_fig1". You can use underscores as separators in sequence identifiers if necessary.
Thus the title of a table will read:
Table { seq tab }: Table title
where the italic part represents the sequence field code.
Bookmark each entry in a sequence (select it and use Edit Bookmark Add), using a bookmark name of the form shown in table H2. You can then refer to the table, figure, reference, etc. from the text by inserting a sequence field citing the same sequence identifier and the particular bookmark required. For example, table 1 has been bookmarked "tab_Seq_Num". Thus a reference to this table from the text reads:
… see table { seq tab tab_Seq_Num } …
where the italic part represents the sequence field code.
You can force Word to recalculate and refresh the display of sequence numbers and their references by selecting the text and pressing F9.
Do not use Word's cross-referencing tool (Insert, Cross-reference), since it implies the use of automatic heading or caption numbering.
When drafting is complete and the TS or TR is ready to be presented to the TSG for placing under change control, hard code all automatic number sequences (Ctrl-Shift-F9) that might have been used. Thereafter, manual numbering shall be used. This will avoid invalidating references from extermal documents to particular clauses / tables / etc. in the document under consideration (see
clause 5.2.1A).
You may use automatic clause numbering during the drafting phase of a TS or TR, but automatic clause numbering shall be disabled for a TS or TR under change control.
