Thank you, I think I need even more help than that. This document is
multiple chapters, It has been cut and pasted from all different locations,
so when I show the styles/formatting box on the right, there are literally
over 50 "styles" applied. I can't even find the original Heading 1 over
there!
Is there a quick way to take a document like this and apply a limited number
of styles to it, say about 7? I want the document to have Heading 1, 2, and
3 only. Then I want body text, maybe bullet text, maybe label text for
labeling figures, and that's it. Is there a way to make the styles I want
and apply them to an already written document that shows so many "styles"
everywhere I look?
Thanks again for helping me in my ongoing struggle.

What you need to be using is not Header 1 but Heading 1, 2, 3. See

Adding to my confusion:
After I carefully formatted heading 1 and heading 2 following the
directions
in shaunakelly's document, when I look at the document in "outline view",
I
just noticed that my Chapter 1, Chapter 2 headings aren't labeled as a
level
1. They are labeled as body text. How can that be if the headings were
formatted as stated in the document. And each Chapter 1 is in a black box
like it is a field, not just text.
My document looks great, it's just the TOC that I can't get fixed now.
Does this matter: I renamed my headings as I modified them so that I
would
recognize it, then I formatted the numbering from what I call my header1
like
shauna kelly says to. Could it be that even though I am calling it Header
1,
it really isn't, and if so, what can I do?
I feel helpless now!

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.
