Default Outline numbering:using a 0

If I understand this correctly, it is level1 that needs to be skipped. 1.0
is then applied at level 2 and 1.0.1 by level three. Set level three to
start at 0 and remove the full stop (period) from the after the 0 in level
2.

Sorry: I neglected to give you an example of a skipped level.

1.0 Overview (created by applying a Heading 1 style)
1.1.1 Resources Provided (created by applying a Heading 3 style)

In the example above, there is no Heading 2 between the H1 and the H3.

Ideally, the client would like the H3 to be numbered thusly: 1.0.1

Is that possible? I don't want to set the numbering to start at 0
because that would mess up the majority of instances in which I did
not skip a heading level.

Maybe there is confusion arising from the gap between your
expectations/desires and Word limits.
I do not understand what you mean by "skipping a level".

In your sample below, you do not skip a level, you just go from 1.0
to 2.1. That, to me, does not make sense. Where is 2.0 (or 2.)? Is
that the skipped level you mention?

Also, 1.0 cannot be level 1, unless the 0 is hard coded into the
level 1 definition. 1.0 must be level 2 (or heading 2).

How did you get Word to display 1.0?

I must be missing something here...

I used heading styles.

Heading 1 gives me something that looks like this: 1.0 Project
Description

Heading 2 gives me: 2.1 Master/Vision Planning

Heading 3 gives me: 2.1.1 Purpose

Heading 4 gives me: 2.1.1.1 Healthcare

Indenting and numbering works perfectly, EXCEPT that numbering does
not insert a 0 if I skip a heading level.


Can you show us an example of text with a skipped level?
