I am trying to create heading styles with specific formatting and
numbering levels/formats. However, whenever I try to get the list to
continue numbering from the previous list, it starts over. For
example, I am in the Findings section with a section number of 3. The
findings section has two subsections labeled Overview, with a number
of 3.1, and Conclusions, with a number 3.2. Now, when I try to create
a third level under Overview and give it a number of 3.1.1, it starts
over at 1.1.1 no matter what I do. So if I do "set numbering
value...." and choose continue from previous list and check the skip
values box, all the other numbers are re-entered like:
1
2
3
3.1
3.1.1


They only show up when you show all chars but I don't want them to
show up. It should look like this:


3 Findings
3.1 Overview
3.1.1 Third level
3.2 Conclusions


Any ideas on how to set that up?


How would I do this in Word 2007? Not as easy.
