FieldType Enum
Represents a field type that is used in defining Fields.
Fields

If headings that contain AUTONUM fields are followed by body text paragraphs that also contain AUTONUM fields, the paragraph numbering of the body text is restarted at 1 after each heading. If the headings don't contain AUTONUM fields, body text paragraphs that contain AUTONUM fields are numbered in a continuous, sequential series throughout the document. This field is supported for legacy reasons, it is recommended that ListNum be used instead. |
| AutoNumLgl | For legal and technical publications, use the nine built-in heading styles to format headings in the document, and then insert an AUTONUMLGL field at the beginning of each heading paragraph. This field is supported for legacy reasons, it is recommended that ListNum be used instead. |
| AutoNumOut | Use the nine built-in heading styles to format headings in the document, and then insert an AUTONUMOUT field at the beginning of each heading paragraph. This field is supported for legacy reasons, it is recommended that ListNum be used instead. |
| AutoText | Inserts the AutoText entry whose name is specified by field argument. |

| MergeBarcode | This field is analogous to the field code, MergeField. The main difference is that MergeBarcode generates a DisplayBarcode field based on the merge result instead of showing it directly. The syntax of field instruction and supported switches is also different. |

| MergeRec | Use this in a mail merge to print the number of the corresponding merged data record in each resulting merged document. |
| MergeSeq | The number of data records that were successfully merged with the main document. |
| Next | Merges the next data record into the current resulting merged document, rather than starting a new merged document. |
| NextIf | Compares the values designated by two expressions using the designated operator. If the comparison is true, the next data record is merged into the current merge document. Merge fields that follow the NEXTIF in the main document are replaced by values from the next data record rather than the current data record. If the comparison is false, the next data record is merged into a new merge document. |

| Set | Defines the bookmark name specified by first field argument to represent the information specified by second field argument. |
| SkipIf | Compares the values designated by two expressions using the designated operator. If the comparison is true, SKIPIF cancels the current merge document, moves to the next in the data source, and starts a new merge document.
