I don't have an answer about the continued headings (which I would omit,
though you might want to look into the use of the StyleRef field for this),
but I think you have a misconception about the numbering. The heading
numbers 4.9, 4.10, and 4.11 should all be the same level: Level 2. Assuming
that the chapter number (Chapter 4 in this case) is Level 1, then Level 2
repeats the chapter number and adds its own numbering, from 1 to as high as
you need to count.

Thank You Suzanne.
I had gone to that website before based on your advice to others, and I
must
have been doing something wrong still.
It is working now so far, but 2 more questions.
I adjusted all Levels 1-9, but in at least one chapter, I have more than 8
sub headings. How do I get subheaders after that. For example I need
4.9,
4.10, 4.11, etc.
My second question is: In some chapters the sub headed paragraphs go on
for
more than one page, so I put cont. in the title. However, I do not want
the
"cont" headers in my TOC. For example section 2.1 is on page 3 pages. I
use
the same Header 2 for each of those pages, but on every page after the
first,
I just type the word cont. How do I keep all the continued headers out of
the TOC?
Thanks

I am trying to number sub headings in chapters. All chapter titles
are
working with Header 1. Now I need each chapter sub heading to be
numbered
like this:
for Chapter 1: 1.1,1.2,1.3 for Chapter 2: 2.1, 2.2, 2.3.
I want two digits showing. I have gone to a Header 2 for that, and
tried
to
modify numbering, even unchecked the box that says restart numbering
after,
and all my subheads throughout the multi chapter document are labeled
1.1.
What am I doing wrong?
I have read all the answers I can find in the group session and still
can't
fix this thing! The document was written with little or no styles
applied,
and I am having to do that now.
Thanks in advance.
