Referencing List Position
As an item on a numbered list, I would like to have, “37. Paragraphs 1 through N are incorporated by reference.” where N = ListNum - 1, and it auto updates as lines are added or deleted. Is it possible to do this?
Thanks. |

Yes.
Bookmark the ListNum. I.e., name the bookmark "lastNumber." Paragraphs 1 through { = { lastNumber } - 1 } are incorporated by reference. The field delimiter braces { } cannot be typed. They must be inserted in pairs using Ctrl+F9. |

Hmm
I get -1. I'm guessing because lastNumber is 0.
I haven't used bookmarks before, so maybe I'm doing that part wrong? I'm bookmarking by left clicking on the paragraph number. Because it's a numbered list, all of the list numbers are highlighted light grey, and the paragraph number I clicked on is dark grey. I then Click Insert Bookmark from the ribbon and a Bookmark dialog comes up, and I name it. Any guess as to what I'm doing wrong? Thanks. |

You bookmark the last ListNum field. That will be the number of the current phrase. It must be selected to place it in a bookmark.
Once you have this, you could select it and save it as AutoText. |
