Variable number in paragraph style

      I have a legal document. It is broken into various Articles. There can be one or more Articles on a page. I created a header style called Article. I also want to have numbered paragraphs below the Article header that reflect the Article Number. For example: Article 4, then below it several paragraphs numbered 4.1, 4.2, 4.3… I want to create a style for these paragraphs utilizing Bullets & Number. How can I insert the article number in the number so it works? I tried to create a variable called Article, but I can’t seem to get this to work in my number style.

      Any ideas would be greatly appreciated – or point me to a tutorial which deals with this. Thanks

      You don’t need a variable for that. You can use the word ‘Article’ in the Number field in the Numbering Style panel of the Bullets and Numbering tab, followed by the level character:

      Article ^#

      I did that and got: Article 1

      The word Article printed out. Instead, what I’m trying to get is the Article number.
