I do get the "sec:" on a blank line, and even at the beginning of the first paragraph. But you are right that the auto-fill mechanism gives you the text from the paragraph, or no text. It would be pretty easy to change that, I think. Have a look at Text::getPossibleLabel. You'll see there's some fancy footwork to get the "sec:" part to work. If you did that before filling the "text" variable, then...well...maybe there'd be other problems, but it would solve this problem, I think. Richard
