Here is the situation: I have a document that uses auto paragraph numbering, generates a table of contents using the paragraph titles and is about 16 pages long. The paragraph style is legal and the numbering starts at 1. At a point about half way into the document I need a reference tied back to a previous paragraph so I enter alt5 to mark text, select auto ref, then select 3 for marking both target and ref. Then following the prompt I move to the target location and hit enter. poof I get my cross reference and evertything looks great. ( if it matters the P# is 2.4.2.1) Later I do a generate to update my table of contents and go back and look at my reference and it has changed to ".7.1" (note the leading "."). I called WP and even sent them a copy of the file to look at, so far no answer. Anyone out there have a clue as to why this happens? Oh yes, this WP 5.0. Please e-mail responses as I do not read this group regularly. Thanks, Monty Saine
