Sorry, Word's not my t'ing, but as a general rule, if you change
something and it then seems broken, unchange it and see if it then seems
fixed. Think of it as a major methodology for those of us who prefer to
learn through hands-on investigation instead of reading the manual.

In your case, I'd go back to the original file with Ch 1 still in it.
Are you pulling the hidden field number in Heading 9? Right click it,
etc, go from there.

G'luck.
