Hello. I'm a newcomer to MacroExpress and am trying to create a simple macro that so far doesn't work. I am typesetting a very long bibliography in which the items have to be sequentially numbered (but prefixed by a section letter, such as C23), and unfortunately InDesign's paragraph numbering system won't quite handle my problems. I want to create a macro that will simply paste a sequentially incremented number at the beginning of each paragraph. Nothing fancy. I am quite willing to run the macro for each paragraph. My main concern at the moment is that if I number the items by hand, I may make mistakes. In MacroExpress I know how to set the value of N1 and how to increment N1, but I'm embarrassed to say I don't know how to paste that new value into the text. This sounds really elementary, but I can't find a clear explanation in the help files. Can someone on this list give me a gentle shove in the right direction? Bill Peterson
