Editing long list format & repeating list text as headings

I'm still confused. I can't get the coding on Cindy's website incorporated
into my list and I think perhaps I'm just having a bad day and missing
something totally obvious.

The code on the website to create a list as aa, ab, ac rather than aa, bb,
cc is:
{ Quote { Set ABC { = { ABC } + 1 } }{ SET ABC2 { IF { ABC } > 26 "{ IF { =
MOD({ ABC }, 26) } = 1 "{ = { ABC2 } + 1 }" "{ ABC2 }" }" "{ ABC2 }" } }{ SET
ABC1 { IF ABC1 < 26 "{ = { ABC1 } + 1 }" "1" } }{ If { ABC } < 27 "{ ABC1 \*
ALPHABETIC }" "{ ABC2 \* ALPHABETIC }{ ABC1 \* ALPHABETIC }" } }

My question - where do I include this text? My numbering is from an Outline
Numbered list and I can't seem to incorporate the code into the list. I've
also tried changing the list rather than using the basic outline numbered
format from the bullets and numbering, I've tried inserting numbering using
ListNum but I can't get this code right either.

Can anyone help me?!?!?!

I've not even tried to sort the second issue since I suspect I will be
incapable of sorting that out if I can't sort out the number issue!!

Thanks for your help in advance

Another way of applying the alphabetical numbering of the form that you want
would be to run a macro containing the following code after selecting all of
the paragraphs to which you want to apply that numbering:

Dim i As Long, j As Long, k As Long
With Selection
For i = 1 To .Paragraphs.Count + Int(.Paragraphs.Count / 27) - 1
j = i Mod 27
k = Int(i / 27)
If k = 0 Then
.Paragraphs(i).Range.InsertBefore Chr(65 + j - 1) & vbTab
ElseIf k = 1 Then
If j = 0 Then
MsgBox i
.Paragraphs(i).Range.InsertBefore Chr(64 + k) & Chr(65) &
vbTab
ElseIf j < 26 Then
.Paragraphs(i).Range.InsertBefore Chr(64 + k) & Chr(65 + j)
& vbTab
End If
Else
If j = 0 Then
MsgBox i - k + 1
.Paragraphs(i - k + 1).Range.InsertBefore Chr(64 + k) &
Chr(65) & vbTab
ElseIf j < 26 Then
.Paragraphs(i - k + 1).Range.InsertBefore Chr(64 + k) &
Chr(65 + j) & vbTab
End If

End If
Next i
End With

If you want the alphabetical numbers inside parentheses, modify the above
lines of code so that there is a

"(" &

between each InsertBefore and the Chr and insert a

& ")"

before the vbTab

InsertBefore "(" & Chr(65 + j - 1) & ")" & vbTab
