StyleRef, Character Styles and ListNum
HI All,
I have what *I think* is a simple thing to do and was wondering of anyone could help me with this problem. Everywhere a particular Paragraph style is used in my document, a Character Style is applied to the section of the paragraph that I want to display in the header. Using { StyleRef "CharacterStyle" } it displays all of the text except the bits that are in a ListNum field. By using { StyleRef "CharacterStyle" \n} I can get the number from the ListNum field. However what I need is to display everything that is in the Character Style as it appears in the document. Initially I could work around this because the ListNum field always came at the end of the text with the character style applied. By using {StyleRef "CharacterStyle"} {StyleRef "CharacterStyle" \n}, it worked. However now some examples are coming through with the ListNum field in the middle of the text and my headers display the ListNum at the end of header rather than in the middle of text as it appears in the document. Can anyone please offer me some assistance. |

Move the LISTNUM field so that it is positioned before the text which
has the character style applied. Format the field as hidden text. At the original location of the field, insert a cross-reference to the hidden LISTNUM number. The cross-reference will be displayed correctly by the STYLEREF in the header. -- Stefan Blom "Matthew Pether" wrote in message ...
