Getting at a level number from another document

[Doug Blake]

I have 2 packages in the same project representing different documents and I want to reference paragraph numbers (level number of an element) from one document to the other. Can I do this with eaDocX. There is a trace relationship between the two.

Short answer is no…
..but this is a feature we used to have in the very first, hard-coded version of eaDocX, and one which we’ve been thinking about re-instating. But it won’t be easy!
Just so I understand what you need, is it to have a reference in document #1 which says e.g. ‘See Document #2, page 46’ or ‘See Document #2, section 3.4.1’?

No not quite.
1.1 Package1 -> 1.1.1 Element1
1.1 Package2 -> 1.1.1 Element2
and
Element1 —trace——-> Eelement2

In Package2.docx,
1.1 Package2.name
1.1.1 Element2.Name from Element1.LevelNumber

Hope this makes sense

That long line is an arrow that’s been reformatted

Not really….:-)
Maybe you could enclose a screen-shot of an example model, plus what you’d want to see in the document(s)
