It sounds as if you must have typed a 1 into the "Number format" box for
Level 2. You need to delete that and select 1, 2, 3 from the "Number style"
box and set the numbering to restart after Level 1.
To clarify: Heading 1 is used for the top-level heading in the document. In
your case this is probably the chapter number. Heading 2 is used for your
Level 2 subheads--all of them. Heading 3 is for #3 heads, Heading 4 for #4
heads, and so on--with the proviso that there shouldn't be any "and so on."
Any document that uses more than four levels of subheads will be unreadable
(and this *does* apply to bureaucratic and legalistic mumbo-jumbo).

Suanne:
I would agree that I have a misconception. But, when I try to label each
subheading of a chapter with my Level 2 type heading, then each subheading
gets labeled as Chapter #.1. They all end in .1 because that is how I
asked
level 2 to be numbered when I formatted the numbering. And, I followed
the
Shelley instructions and formatted the numbering in the Header 1 type
only.
Because this happened, I just used Header 3 for subheading 3 in all
chapters,
Header 4 for all subheading 4 in all chapters, and it worked.... With the
one
flaw: I don't have enough headers to get through the long chapters.
Does this have something to do with checking or not checking the "restart
numbering after" box when formatting the numbers?

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.
