MS Office Forum / Word / Numbering / February 2007Extracting the numbers of an outline numbered list
I have created a style which provides a very simple outline numbered list: it's 2 levels deep and relies on an invisible top level which does the restarting (a straight copy from Margaret Aldis' trick explained on the MVP-site). This all works very smoothly and as it's supposed to. On to the question: is there a way to extract the numbers associated with the level of a given paragraph using fields? In other words, suppose a paragraph has been automatically numbered as '2.8' by Word (2000), then what do I need to do to obtain the 2 and the 8 in a field of sorts? Kind regards, Maarten Insert a cross-reference to the numbered paragraph, via Insert | Reference | Cross-reference.

If the paragraph's number changes (because another paragraph has been added or removed), then the cross-referenced paragraph number is supposed to change accordingly. But for me it does not change after I choose Update Fields, and I cannot determine the reason. David > Insert a cross-reference to the numbered paragraph, via Insert | > Reference | Cross-reference.
