You should understand that the sequence field can be much more powerful than implied in this tip. The identifiers you use are entirely up to you. For instance, one numbered sequence could use an identifier of MajorNum1, and another use an identifier of MajorNum2.
Thus, you could have several sequences in a single document. In this format, ident is replaced with a unique identifier for the sequence in question. For the purposes of this tip, the format of the sequence field is as follows: (A broken numbered list is one in which the flow of the list is interrupted by paragraphs of a different format.) This approach to creating numbered lists is particularly helpful and much less prone to the problems inherent in Word's built-in list numbering. You can even use the SEQ field to help create broken numbered lists. Word includes a special sequencing field that you can use to do all sorts of numbering.
