All items are numbered sequentially, from 0 to ItemCount-1.

RichView does not store item numbers, item numbers are actual position of

item in the internal lists of items.

So if you insert/delete items, numbers of others change.

But as for items of table cells, they are not items of root document (only

table is an item of it), they are items of subdocuments (each cell is a

subdocument)

(there is a special class allowing to number all items sequentially,

including all item of tables (it is undocumented, but I can explain, if you

need).

There are several possible approaches to storing links to items.

Can you give more details about your problem?
