Hello Mats, I am not sure I understand what you are trying to do, but a while ago I needed to reference a numbered item and I "solved" the problem with simple trick (you may want to replace simple with dirty, it's a matter of taste :-) ): What I did was to add as *hidden text* the number of the item next to the actual number automatically generated, then then referenced it. The drawback is that if someone activates the show hidden text they will "call your bluff". If you go for it and need to repeat this several times, I suggest you create a character style specifying the attribute "hidden" (saves a lot of clicking). I tried to use the hidden text variable (which I think is the right way of doing it), but did not manage because the reference inherits the property "hidden". Cheers, Michele
