I don't use structured, but the answer should be approximately the same. :-) If the choices (A, B, C, D) are autonumbered (with the question pgf set to restart their numbering), then all you need to do for the answer is create a cross-reference to the right choice using the <$paranum> building block. That way, if you rearrange the choices so that what was A is 3rd in the sequence (and thus renumbered C), when you update xrefs, the answer xref will update to C. HTH! Richard ------ Richard G.
