Default possible to have a linked autonumber field?

Note that if the numbering depends on fields (other than LISTNUM or
SEQ), it may not be possible to cross-reference it directly; instead,
a bookmark must be created manually and then cross-referenced.

Regardless of how many numbered lists you have, you should be able

to select
the specific numbered paragraph you want to insert a cross reference

to. If
you recognize the content of the paragraph, then you'll be

cross-referencing
the correct number.

I think it would be: Reference type: Numbered item; Reference

to:
Paragraph Number.

You'll have to select and hit F9 to Update Fields for the
cross-references to update as the original numbers change.


hi, many thanks,
you got me on the right track. you're answer doesn't completely

solve the
problem b/c i have many paragraphs before the examples, and in

between, so
the paragraph number didn't do the trick.

but, if I first put the autonumber for each example, and then I

make a
bookmark on the autonumber field, I can then insert a cross

reference to
the
bookmark, and have it fill the number in. Voila, this was the link

i was
looking for!

many many thanks!
