	presumeably (hopefully?) you know it.  Word auto-numbers
	footnotes...why not anything else?  Also, having <<NUMBER>> or
	such in text doesn't allow one to get paragraph formatting
	exact when the placement of certain paragraphs is critical,
	i.e., the two paragraphs (pre- and post-merged) don't word-wrap
	the same.
