Tammy,

    If I understand the issue, you are trying to make a single TOC entry that has the autonumber of the SectionNumber paragraph followed by the text of the SectionTitle paragraph. The format of one TOC entry cannot include information from multiple paragraphs (or elements in a structured document). However, you can create two entries that appear on one line by making the first one a run-in head. In your case, you can enter SectionNumber in the TOC, using <$paranum> and formatting that paragraph as a run-in head. Also enter SectionTitle in the TOC using <$paratext>. As long as all sections are consistent in the use of both paragraphs at the beginning, the result should be what you want.
