This shouldn't be necessary. Frame will not trip over an empty paragraph. And when you refer to an empty paragraph, a marker will be placed in the paragraph and it won't be empty anymore. You're better off switching on View->Text Symbols so you can see where the empty paragraphs (and markers) are. But why refer to empty headings in the first place? I assume you don't know yet what the title will be, but if that's the case, how can you refer to something if you haven't decided what you will be referring to? Harro de Jong Triview
