The SEQ field supports the following switches:

\n Inserts the next sequence number for the specified item. This is the default.

#Example: Insert the SEQ Field in Code

using (var wordProcessor = new RichEditDocumentServer()) {
    wordProcessor.LoadDocument("Documents//Table of Contents.docx");
    Document document = wordProcessor.Document;
    document.BeginUpdate();

    for (int i = 0; i < document.Images.Count; i++) {
        DocumentImage shape = document.Images[i];
        Paragraph paragraph = document.Paragraphs.Insert(shape.Range.End);

        // Insert caption to every image in the document
        DocumentRange range = document.InsertText(paragraph.Range.Start, "Image ");

        // Mark captions with the SEQ fields
        Field field = document.Fields.Create(range.End, "SEQ  Image \\*ARABIC");
    }
    document.Fields.Update();
    document.EndUpdate();
