Try applying the List Number style to paragraphs you want numbered. You can
also create a numbered style from scratch or apply numbering to any style.

Whilst the linked file is very helpful it concentrates on numbered
headers.
The style I want to define (and it is on a template) is standard numbered
lists within the Normal body of my document.
For example a user having just typed a paragraph of text clicks on the
Numbered List button and gets an indented "1." in exactly the same format
as
the previous paragraph.
If I try and define Numbering in the Normal template I get a number before
every pararaph.
My headings on the other hand are not designed to be numbered.

There is no way to set a default numbering format in Word. Instead,
you should link numbering to styles, save as a template (*.dot file)
and then create documents based on that template whenever you want to
re-use the numbering. See
http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/numb...Numbering.html.

I seem to be being blind, but I cannot for the life of me find a way
to set
the required format for Outline Numbered lists in Word.
Every time I try and select 1.1.1, etc as the style in the template
(Format/Styles) when I try and activate the style from the toolbar I
get the
1, a, i style instead
Any tips?
