I wondered whether a filter could be used to solve the problem of retrieving the item number of a particular list item in a numbered list. I thought maybe it could be done with a filter; however, since reading more about filters, that doesn't seem possible since they seem to deal with just importing and exporting and not updating an existing document. However, the 'update fields' command does something similar; hence, I'm wondering if there's someway to adapt that command or create a new one that does exactly what I want. To repeat what the OP requested, what I want is given a numbered list, e.g. 1. item_1 2. item_2 I want to set a reference at item_2 and then insert a reference to that reference in another part of the document. For example, I may want to say: See item 2. in another part of the document. However, instead of hard-coding the 2, I want the inserted reference to automatically update the refererence so that if I insert an item between 1. and 2., the inserted reference will show as 3. This can be done now if the inserted reference's format is Page; however, it just updates the page number, not the item number. How can the set of available reference formats be expanded to allow retrieval of item number as well as page number? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
