restart numbering Word 2007
I know this has been addressed many times previously but I can't apply other
people's answers to my situation and also to Word 2007 version. I am trying to set up four levels: 1. / 1.1 / (a) and (i). Level 1 works fine but the other levels don't number consecutively ie 1.1, 1.1, 1.1 / (a), (a), (a) etc. At Level 1, I've right-clicked and selected "Adjust List Levels" to bring up the multi level box and my Level 1 multilevel list is as follows: Enter formatting for number: 1. Number style for this level: (1, 2, 3) Link level to style: Heading 1 Start at 1 Level 2 is as follows: Enter formatting for number: 1.1 Number style for this level: (none) - NOTE: I can't select anything else because there isn't the format that I want ie (1.1), (1.2) etc - is this where the problem is?? Link level to style: Heading 2 Start at: - blanked out - is this right? Level 3 is as follows: Enter formatting for number: (a) Number style for this level: (none) - AGAIN see notes above. Link level to style: Heading 3 Start at 1 - blanked out. For each of the above I have ticked the box "Restart list after" (except for Level 1) so that for Level 2 I have selected Level 1 and for Level 3 I have selected Level 2. I have read Shauna Kelly's article which has gotten me this far but there were a few things I needed broken further down with actual examples. I'd appreciate a step by step response if possible!! |

restart numbering Word 2007
Make sure that you have in fact set up numbering as an outline (a
multilevel) list; then the restarts should work properly. Here's how to do that in Word 2007: Place the insertion point in the first level 1 paragraph of your list. In this case, you would place the insertion point in the first Heading 1 paragraph of your document. On the Home tab, click Multilevel List, and then click Define New Multilevel List. Word displays a dialog box similar to the Customize Outline Numbered List dialog of Word 97-2003. Make sure that you attach styles to list levels, choose the correct formats, add punctuation as well as higher level numbering (where appropriate). Also specify the desired restarts (if necessary). -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "VeryConfused" wrote in message ...

restart numbering Word 2007
Hi Stefan,
Next to each level I have "attached" Heading 1, Heading 2, Heading 3 etc so I believe I have attached headings/styles to my levels. Do I need to put anything in the "number style for this level / include level no from" fields in the "Define New Multilevel List"? The "enter formatting for number" field seems like it's automated for the first level ie 1. but it seems "manual" for the rest because I have done that myself which is why I think it's not working properly. For eg, Level 2 I want it to be 1.1 but in the "number style for this level" there is no "matching style" - it only has I, II, III etc. It also doesn't have (a), (b) etc which is how I want my Level 3 to be. Have I entered it all correctly as set out in my initial email?

restart numbering Word 2007
In the "Enter formatting for number" box you type in any static text,
including punctuation. To add the number for the selected numbering level, use "Number style for this level." To add one or more previous levels, use "Include level number from" (it seems as if you only need this for level 2, for which you should add level 1 to the "Enter formatting for number" box). You should also verify the "Restart list after" settings so that the list restarts are the way you want them. When you are done, click OK to close the dialog box. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "VeryConfused" wrote in message ...
