The closest I have come is to setup each paragraph, table, appendix as a separate number. Appendices use Custom A. The number is defined where the item is created. That keeps all the numbers in proper order. New ones can be easily inserted and items moved without having to manually renumber anything. However, Placing a reference to the created number works for page numbers, but not for titles since the number doesn't show in a reference name. Any suggestions on how to make this work will be appreciated.I'm not sure I understand how you've got things set up, and what your problem is, but here's my idea of what may be happening.
If you're looking for the cross-reference to show the table number, for example, rather than the text caption (or title or whatever), you need to select the automatic number and define that as the mark. This can get rather messy, if you also need to have the title or both number and title as cross-references, since you would have to have two references to the same conceptual entity.
I'm doing this on a work in progress, which has been in progress for more than 18 months so far, with no end in sight yet. I have the marks set to two references for each section. If I have a title like this:
4.2.5 Obligatory Constituents
I would have two marks: one selects the automatic number 4.2.5, and the other selects the actual text. Then I can cross-reference by just the number, just the title, or both (by using both marks).
Does this help?
