In the Norwegian version, rather than Heading numbering, you could use cross references to the number of the corresponding heading in the English version.

Hello



We are creating a manual containing two different languages. We want it to be in two columns and feel the best way to do that is to use a table. The right column will be a Norwegian version of the English text in the left column.

Our problem arises when we want to use the build in styles (Heading 1..4) for automatic heading numbering. The result we get looks like:



Example 1 - What we get:

1. Chapter in English ! 2. Chapter in Norwegian

Text in English ! Text in Norwegian

!

1.1 English Chapter level 2 ! 2.1 Norwegian Chapter Level 2



Example 2 - What we want is:

1. Chapter in English ! 1. Chapter in Norwegian

Text in English ! Text in Norwegian

!

1.1 English Chapter level 2 ! 1.1 Norwegian Chapter Level 2





We want to use Word styles (heading 1 .... 4) for headings and numbering the chapters. But if we use "Heading 1" for both languages, the numbering will be mixed ("As in Example 1.)



Question: How can we define two sets of "Heading styles" and the numbering for each style sets are independent of each other?



Hopefully it is possible to use Word's the build in functionality for creating TOC (one for each language)





If you have a template / document containing this styles I will be very happy if I can have a copy of it.



Thanks in advance
Harald
