One more bit of information:
I have read and tried to understand them, but I am not a template expert.
However, I did create a template that looks like this:
Chapter Heading
Subheading
body text
bullet list
numbered bullet, etc.
I then applied a stlye to each of those that I wanted used in our manuals.
I saved that as a template, then did Insert File and inserted my stripped
file into that template. So, the words that I typed into my template so I
could apply the style, showed up in my document. I applied styles to my
document, then deleted those words. Could this be affecting my Chapter 1?
One more thing, I right clicked on my first chapter, which says it is ch 2,
and clicked "Restart Numbering", which it did so it does appear to be chapter
one now. However, in the page numbering every page in the chapter includes
the Ch2 heading- page number. Can you help me with what is going on "behind
the scenes" in this doc.?
Thanks

I took out the manual page break, it didn't change. I then went to modify
heading 1 and checked the box page break before, in addition to the other two
boxes that were checked window orphan control and Keep with next. I even
then unchecked keep with next and it still didn't change. Do you have some
more suggestions?

You haven't confirmed whether or not you have a manual page break at the end
of the title page, which could well cause the problem you describe.

I have checked the number formatting for Heading 1. It is definitely set
to
start at 1. In the number format box, there is a 1 in the gray field.
For kicks, I chose to start at Chapter 0, and wouldn't you know, my first
chapter then becomes Chapter 1 instead of Chapter 2. This could work, but
I
still need to find the error that is causing this. I did Edit, find,
hightlight all items found in: header and footer. When I do this, it
first
takes me to my title page of the document, but I don't see a Heading 1
there.
In fact, I selected the entire title page and put it in regular body
text,
then I even cut it out of the document and it still didn't label Ch 1
correctly.
One bit of info. I did cut and paste the entire unformatted, unstlyed
document into what I thought was a template I created for this manual with
just the styles I wanted to use. Could there be an error there and can
you
help me find it?
Thanks

Go back to Format | Style | Modify | Numbering for Heading 1 and make
sure
you didn't set the numbering to start from 2. If you didn't, then use
Find
to look for a Heading 1 paragraph before your first Heading 1. My guess
would be that you inserted a manual page break before the chapter number
paragraph; the page break has the same style formatting as the following
paragraph. Instead of a manual page break, use the "Page break before"
property in the paragraph or style.
If all the subheads are 1.1, then there's a chance that the numbering in
the
"Number format" box is typed numbers rather than fields. If they don't
have
a gray background, then they're not fields.

I am having another major problem. I have stripped the document,
applied
my
few styles. I formatted the style Heading 1 like shauna kelley
describes.
However, my first chapter that I apply it to says Chapter 2, every
chapter
after follows in the right number order. My first page is a title
page,
all
done in body text, my 2-3 page is just an intro. all done in body text
with
some bold.
Finally, my 4th page is where Chapter 1 starts, I have removed page
and
section breaks, but still my first ch says Ch2. What can I do? I
can't
proceed with page numbering until I fix this.
Thanks again

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.
