similar in the master doc itself, in text sections between the
links, which would be much faster and easier.

Thanks TJ I saw that& will try it today. Sounds like a good trick.
I have several hidden fields& paras in the template so adding this
one should do the job.
I was going to copy the workaround into a note to the list but my
Internet is down today so I'm doing email on the phone.

Of course that would fix new documents, but I didn't see how it would
help for the old ones. Don't sprain your thumbs replying; my 'satiable
curiosity can wait.
Ok, I'm back online. Technician showed up very early, did stuff,
proclaimed "impossible error" (my words, not his), put everything back
together without otherwise changing anything, and it now works.
Reminds me of the bad old days of troubleshooting computer hardware
faults: he (and Eric) had no idea what was causing the problem
(humidity?), but we now know what to do next time.
Re spraining thumbs: I use an iPhone so no thumbs involved for me. ;-)
I'm adding the new fields, hidden paras etc into the existing docs as
I update them for 3.2. Some things come in when I let the docs update
themselves from the revised template; others don't. I suspect the
workaround won't work unless the hidden para is in the subdoc itself,
not in a text area in the master doc.
For those interested in the details, I've now copied this from the issue.
workaround:
The problem occurs only in the first paragraph in the first numbered
list.
So you can create a hidden section in top of each document and assign
a numbering style to the paragraph. That way you can isolate the
problem to a hidden area in the document.
