How Do I Get a {REf} to return {LISTNUM} number?

In a legal document my format looks like:

6 (1) blah blah...
(2) blah blah...

where the 6 is a numbered style linked to style Section and (2) is one level
down called Subsection. The (1) is generated using {LISTNUM} to make it
appear on the same line with the 6, rather than on a separate line.

I don't know how to place a bookmark so that in a reference, I can get the
(1) returned. All I get is the 6.

I know I can solve it by going for a format

6
(1) blah blah...
(2) blah blah...

but I didn't choose this screwy legal format, I just have to use it. Maybe
there's a way to get my Section and Subsection style on the same line, but
the best I could come up with was using {LISTNUM}.

In the Cross-reference dialog box, you should be able to see the LISTNUM
numbers as well, assuming that you choose "Numbered item" for "Reference
type."

Alternatively, you could manually bookmark the field and then insert a
cross-reference to the bookmark.

That's it! I was doing it "the hard way" based on exp. with Word 2000. I'm
new to Word 2007. I was trying to insert manual book marks and references to
them. Much easier to use cross-reference.

One annoying thing though. I i place the caret and enter the cross-reference
dialog, Word shifts the document position, at least in the print view. But I
can live with it.

Thanks for your help.

I'm glad I could help.

Note that you could use the cross-reference feature in Word 2000 as well;
the dialog box offers the same options in both versions.
