The SEQ field hid itself. I didn't do anything to format it that way. To be
honest I don't know how.

That is strange. If you press Ctrl+Shift+8 to show nonprinting marks and
then press Alt+F9 to show field codes, can you still see the code for the
SEQ field?

By the way, if you want to, I can take a look at the file. You can send it
to sbm01004(a)hotmail.com.
