Can you "CTRL+G" to a paragraph number?

[Guest]

I have a 100+ page legal document with multiple autonum lists and
cross-references. If I'm in a meeting and someone wants to talk about
paragraph 8.3, I'd like to be able to quickly go to that paragraph. I don't
always know the page number, so I would like to jump to the paragraph number.
I see those numbers in the cross-reference drop box "numbered items", but I
don't find it in the CTRL G drop box.

The Go (Ctrl+G) command can't do that. But you should be able to navigate
quickly by displaying the Document Map (on the View menu or the toolbar) and
clicking the numbered paragraph there.

Thanks. It works great. I don't know why I never think to use the DOCUMENT
MAP. It works well for one of my documents. However, I have another
document which is only displaying tables in the document map.

It's a long document which is formatted as a table with 2 columns. Left
column is English and the right column is the Russian translation. Each
column is outline numbered 1.0 English; 1.0 Russian; 1.1 Enlgish, 1.1
Russian, etc.
I tried to use different "outline level" or "bookmark" the Russian Column so
I could get 2 different TOCs (one Russian and one English).

Problem:
1. Document Map only shows tables.
2. I need 2 separate TOCs, but can't figure out how to do it within the
table constraints. I tried to make the Russian Column unique by using a
"bookmark" and "outline level 2". However, both the bookmark and outline
level seem to go across the row of the table, so the quickest way I found is
to just let the TOC pick up both colums.Then in each TOC, I delete every
other line to get the "English only version" and the "Russian only version".
Then update TOCs with page numbers only.

Question: Can I quickly change the fomatting to 1) get the outline numbers
to show up in the Document Map; and 2) get 2 separate TOCs. The given is
that the English and Russian translation must be aligned side by side on each
page.

I'm coming to the party late, but perhaps I can help. I think you need a
separate set of outline-numbered styles for your English and Russian text.
You could start by using the built-in heading styles for one set (English,
say), then create a separate set for the Russian (NOT based on the heading
styles). Note that the paragraph formatting doesn't need to look like a
heading; you can modify it as needed.

Make sure you assign the numbering to the styles exactly as laid out in
http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/numbering/OutlineNumbering.html, being
careful to link each numbering level to the appropriate style.

When you create a TOC, if you have assigned an outline level to each style
in the Format | Paragraph dialog (as opposed to Format | Bullets and
Numbering), all your list styles will show up in the TOC Options. For a
given TOC, just delete the outline number beside the ones you don't want
included. If necessary, type a number beside the ones you want included. The
TOC entries should include the outline numbering by default.
