Insert Cross-Reference?
You can cross-reference to a heading.
What is the difference between headings and headers?

I know that cross references can be used but that does not solve the problem. It is interesting that the cross reference heading numbers will be found using a FIND but the original automated heading number will not.

I am trying to use FIND to locate ALL occurrences within my document of the outline numbers that are generated automatically by Word on the headings in my document.

See my first post.

Header or heading? See link given previously. It matters.

Headings. Sorry for the confusion. Headings - Often used with automated outline numbers to identify that one or more paragraphs belong together to make a point. In the example below there are two headings. I would like to be able to use the Find menu item to to locate 3.2.4.1.5.6 in my document. Word, at least by default, does not recognize the heading numbers because they are automated. Ironically, if you have cross-references in your document to the heading number, Word will find those.

EXAMPLE:
