I am using an outline with automatic numbering, and everything is working
fine, until the 9th paragraph where the number, inexplicably is not
available. I try to back up to the previous paragraph and insert a hard
return, which produces a new number, then deletes the one above it. Any
ideas?

Have you followed these guidelines, exactly, to produce your numbering? If
not, you will have problems.

Yes, I did - the problem actually solved itself, when I went to the paragraph
below it, and accepted the format change - the numbering in the paragraph
above corrected itself. I am not sure why it happened, but can continue in
the document so am a happy camper again. Thanks for your quick response -
nice to know this is available.

Lori:

"Numbering" is stored in the paragraph mark that ends the paragraph to which
the number applies.

If you have a pending change on that paragraph mark, it and the information
it contains may be "out of service". When you resolve the change, "normal
service is restored".

Cheers
