In the ref page entry, put multiple tab characters between <$paratext> and <$chapnum> -- at least one for each line in your longest caption. Each time a line of text in the pgf moves past that tab position, it "burns" one of the tab characters. So you've "run out," as it were. :-) HTH! Richard Richard G.
