Great. Would you be willing to go as high as $20? Do you have any
reservations about free list servers (such as OneList)?

Yes. Autonumber the chapter/section title using a background-colored number,
if needed. The chapter/section title *must* have a Word default heading
style (heading1 . . . heading9).

After you insert the page number, you can select the page number and format
it to include chapter number . . . pick the heading# you used.

Oh, that doesn't get you the .1, .2, etc. Let me think about that. In the
footer, eh?

Are you kidding. Get ready for the email . . . <vbg>.

Seriously, I recommend you consider two alternatives very seriously: Adobe
FrameMaker and Corel Ventura Publisher. At least, for the PC. For tech
writing on the Mac, I can only recommend FrameMaker. You *might* also want
to look into Interleaf, if you are feeling rich <g>. FrameMaker is my weapon
of choice an has been for a while (which is why I cannot, this minute, come
up with the answer for what you seek).

All the best.
