How to retrieve the paragraph number of an auto-numbered paragraph?

[robot]

Hello,

I need a function that returns the paragraph number of an auto-numbered
paragraph.

Any help would be appreciated. (I use Word 2002.) Thank you in advance.

Hi Robot,

as this is the beginners group,
without discussing all details,
in principle like that:

With Selection.Range.ListParagraphs(1)
MsgBox .Range.ListFormat.ListString
End With

assuming, that there is a listparagraph...
