Okay, I will use Sequence codes as you suggested. I wanted to be sure there
wasn't another method before I used Sequence codes. Thanks for the detailed
explanation.

I believe the issue here (which has arisen before) is that you can't use
auto numbering for:
INTERROGATORY NO. 1:
RESPONSE TO INTERROGATORY NO. 1:
INTERROGATORY NO. 2:
RESPONSE TO INTERROGATORY NO. 2:
because there is a limit to the amount of text you can have before the
auto number, and "RESPONSE TO INTERROGATORY NO. " is excessive.
An approach that would work, though it would not be entirely automatic,
would be to use SEQ fields. This could be handled in either of two ways:
1. Use a { SEQ Int } field for the Interrogatories and a { SEQ Res } field
for the Responses.
2. Use a { SEQ Int } field for the Interrogatories and a { SEQ Int \c }
field for the Responses.
In either case, the entire phrase (INTERROGATORY NO. { SEQ Int }: ) could
be saved as an AutoText entry (building block) for ease of insertion. SEQ
fields do have to be updated manually, so at the outset (until you updated
the fields), all the interrogatories and responses would be numbered 1,
but provided they are sequential and no numbers are omitted, this would
work.

Please clarify "I've tried Heading 1 and Heading 2 but there is so much
text in the Response phrase that it won't all fit": fit into what?

Thanks for your comments. Believe me, I have done my research before
coming to you with this problem. Outline Heading styles don't work
because the text is too long to fit. And Shauna's article has been well
read and absorbed. However, it doesn't answer my specific questions as
posted. BTW, that link is a mess and doesn't have any answers.

Same here too. The link is a mess. And why link to a link?

That is a really terrible link (display on my screen is atrocious) and
in any case not a direct link to Shauna's article, which is at

Take one step back. Understand what you are trying to do and read
