Paragraph numbering

Post by Nifty »

v3.4 262 (iMac, Snow Leopard)

Is it possible to auto-number each paragraphs under a heading? For example

1.0 Heading

1.1 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

1.2 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

1.3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

and if so then please let me how would I go about it?

In anticipation, thank you for your help.

(I could number each para manually but that's a fiddle if I want to re-order them)

One option is to use an Auto-Title as the first entry of a paragraph. Set its display to only include the number (but you could use the Title for quick reference in the Outline pane or for cross-references), and this ought to give you the outcome you're looking for. It would be a bit cumbersome because you'd have to remember to do this for each individual paragraph, but I'm uncertain as to an automated way to do this.

I've already tried that, thanks. As you say, it's a bit cumbersome. I've also experimented with customising Level 2, etc but that's not ideal either.

Since it looks like I'd need to remember to auto-title the start of each paragraph, unless there is a way to do what I'm after, I may as well stick to manual numbering.
