I have two issues which are sort of interlinked so I will list them
together.
The first is to do with numbered list formatting.
I have an outline numbered list in the following format:
1. Summary
(a) Division
(b) xxxx
The a, b, c continues past z and in word automatically becomes aa, bb, cc
but we want it to be aa, ab, ac. Is this possible?
Additionally, is there a code to include in the style or something which
will automatically repeat the primary heading (ie 1. Summary) and/or the
second level heading if appropriate (ie (a) Division) where the item
continues over 1 page?
I do have styles attached to the list - ie 1. Summary has a style attached
to it and (a) Division has a style attached to it which follows the first
numbered style automatically.
Does this make any sense?
So, basically I have a very long list - I need the second and all
following
pages to have 1. Summary (cont'd) printed on the them and if appropriate
(a)
Division (cont'd) if the text under Division runs over a pagebreak.
I hope someone can help me.
