How to create numbered chapters and sub-chapters in prime3

Question

Hello,I have to create a large matcad-document under prime 3 und want to devide it into numbered chapters. Is there something like a MS-Word chaptering, so that an insert between existing chapters would renumber the old chapters.Or what is the preferred method to get numbered headlines?

Thanks David. Do you often use this? Does it slow down the Mathcad file?

Peter, David was providing the Mathcad 15 solution per my request. No one has a solution for Prime. If PTC someday adds scripted components to Prime, then this solution should be usable in Prime. However, the preferred solution would be for PTC to incorporate numbering similar to MS Word.

In Prime, you could try setting a variable and then displaying it and incrementing it at each change in paragraph.  You could try using one of the old Mathcad tricks for hiding part of an expression, such as dropping a "white" text box over the part you want to cover.   StuartNote: If PTC don't include the capability in Prime 4 (and I don't think they plan to), then it might be possible to use the planned components to create an auto-incrementing section number (I can do this in Mathcad 15).
