I think the built-in heading styles are pretty well fixed in what level they
can be.

Hi, thanks, that site seems to be getting me on the right track. However,
I'm
still having major issues: I'm setting up my own numbering system for the
document and trying to associate it with heading 3. Unfortunately,
everytime
I it I set the first level as "Section" and then the following levels as
1.1
etc. I try to link level 1 to heading 3; however, the numbering system
links
level 3 to heading 3 and no matter what i do it always sets it back to
that.
That is, I will customize it by making level one Heading 3, and level 3 no
style, but once i click okay, it re-assigns heading 3 to level 3. Is there
anyway to fix this?

Hi all,
the subject pretty much says it all. I have a 115 page document that
employs dozens of different numbering layouts and formats, none
really work together and they are too easily ruined. I need help from
anyone that can tell me a few simple things with word numbering:
1. How do I get an outlined numbering that starts at the second level
of numbering? i.e. when I'm writing why can I not specifically choose
an outline numbering that lets me start with 1.1? and then when I
press enter it would go to 1.2, if I pressed enter + tab it
would go to 1.2.1
For instance I may have: "Section 1: Introduction" as a heading 3 for
the table of contents. So, I would want everything in there listed in
an outline system with the first number starting at 1.1 and down from
there. I'd also like it so that when I move on to section 2, I can
simply re-adjust the numbering to start at 2.1 without affecting
section 1.
I hope this makes sense, if anyone can help me I would truly
appreciate it. This has been a headache for me for well over a month
now. Thanks all!
