[users] Howto use set reference/insert reference to retrieve paragraph number?

[Larry Evans]

I've got some numbered paragraphs:

  1. Paragraph1.

 Sentence1.

 Sentence2.

  2. Paragraph2.

 Sentence1.
 Sentence2.

 Sentence3.



  3. Paragraph3.

 Sentence1.

 Sentence2.  See paragraph numbered .

I've tried selecting the 2. of Paragraph 2; however, that highlights 
*all* the numbers of the paragraphs.  I went ahead and tried inserting

a cross-reference:Set Reference: with Name="second_para" then, after
that, tried replacing the  by inserting a 
cross-reference:Insert Reference with Name="second_para"; however, no 
number 2 appeared.  Only a small shaded blank appeared.


How do I get the number 2 to appear where I inserted the "Insert Reference"?

TIA.

Larry,

Not much to go on but have you checked View > Field Names?

If you can send me a copy of your file direct and I will see what I can 
find.
