Hi Nicolas,
Thanks for taking the time to look at this. The problem is a little
different from what I thought.

The above paragraph does not refill when the '137.' is at the front of
the line (And of course, it should not since org thinks it is a list
item).

It does fill properly when the '137.' is anywhere else.

So: my problem is that somehow the '137.' got at the head of a line. I
have no idea how that happened. I inserted references in this document
using reftex, so I suppose that is one source to investigate.

The other source is, no doubt, cut and paste.

In a 60+ page document, I had four or five of these, so it is a very
annoying problem.

In view of this, should I explore further about the source of these or
try out the patch you sent?

Again, many thanks for your time and help.

Cheers,
Alan
