Default Maintain Sequence fields after a mail merge

Given words joke of an automatic numbering system in Word 2000, we have
created a simialar system using sequence fields.

However, when the document is merged, the sequence fields are converted to
their results.

Is their any way to keep the fields as fields after the mail merge?

Regards
Simon

Take a look at http://www.shaunakelly.com/word to see how to tame the
numbering system.
