Hi All,
I appreciate all the responses. Here's the summary:
> SectionNumber is an auto-numbered tag used within a chapter file
> whereas the tag that immediately follows, SectionTitle, is not
> auto-numbered. The numbering is not at the file level such as with
> $Chapnum, so <$sectionnum> is not an option.
I have tried all iterations including <$paranum> before <$paratext>, but no luck. . . .
In a nutshell, . I am trying to extract a paragraph number from one tag (SectionNumber) and get it assigned to another tag (SectionTitle) when generating the TOC.
I have punted for now, and come up w/ a less than elegant solution, but it works and I have to move on to bigger fish to fry, but I am open to any and all suggestions.
Thanks!

Ti Tammy,
Are you forgetting <$paranum> before <$paratext>?
Kind regards,
