You can format the paragraph/auto number for level 1 as hidden text.
Then it won't display in the document, but you will still see it in
level 2 numbers.

I am creating a document that will contain one master document and
multiple subdocuments - all of which are separate files and will
represent separate chapters. I am using "list styles" to create an
outline based on the generic Headings.

My outline is required to be the typical outline:

1
1.1
1.1.1
1.1.1.1

Each subdocument is at the 1.1 level. Each subdocument will also need
to be marked as a chapter - so the page numbers can reflect each chapter
and the Master Document can recognize them as chapters. But, I want
each chapter heading to be hidden so the outline only shows the 1.1. It
will look like: (Chapter 1) 1.1.

I know how to show the words "chapter" next to the second level which
would appear like Chapter 1.1. But, I really need the word "chapter "
to be hidden and the 1.1 to be visible. Again, these will be configured
in each subdocument with (Chapter 1) 1.1 in the first subdocument and
(Chapter 2) 1.2 in the second, and so forth.

Is there a way to have a hidden chapter title on an already existing
Word outline? If not, is there a way to force chapters (for the sake of
page numbers) while keeping an existing outline? Thank you all!
