Default Creating cross reference to paragraph

All of my paragraphs requiring two spaces after the paragraph number. I've setup the paragraph numbering with two spaces in the number format box.

In the example attached, you can see how in paragraph 1.2. I'm cross referencing paragraph 1.1., but the two space built into the multilevel list shows up.



Is it possible to get the cross reference with just the paragraph number and not the two spaces?

Instead of including unwanted spaces in the numbering, set the numbering format to followed by a tab.

Thanks Paul. I'd tried this before, but was having trouble getting the tab to equal the spacing of two spaces.

I've now changed the follow number with to a tab character and also adjusted the text indent at to a number equal to two spaces.

This seems to be working fine. Thanks again.

The reason I steered you towards the tab is that is no such thing as a 'two spaces' constant when working with proportional fonts and justified content. It might have worked in the days of typewriters using fixed-width fonts (think Courier) and left-aligned text, but who works with that paradigm today?

Unfortunately we do and not sure that will change anytime soon, or actually in my lifetime. I'll be long retired before that most likely happens. I'm such a small cog in a workforce of over 500,000+, I would pass out if I held my breath.

This I can work with.
