Hi,

I'm trying to create automated "outline numbering" numbers
that will appear flush right beside text on their left.

Specifically, the purpose is to automate numbering of
equations in technical reports. The traditional style for
numbering equations is to place the equation at the left
and a sequential number in parentheses flush right.

I'd like to link the equation number automatically to the
chapter number, and I'd like the number to keep track of
successive numbering within each chapter
(e.g., "1.1," "1.2," "1.3," etc.)

This kind of numbering is easy to accomplish via "outline
numbering" so long as the number is to appear to the LEFT
of the body text. However, I can't figure out how to get
automated outline numbers to appear to the RIGHT of the
text.

I'm thinking a solution might be possible using fields and
field codes.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Bruce
