Using Word 2000 - Every time I try to add new styles (similar to style
Heading 2), the formatting of the new style "upsets" the formatting of
the existing style "Heading 2"

1. The new styles' numbering should follow (as does style "Heading
2") from style "Heading 1"
2. The new styles formatting should, at the very least, be centered
3. These new styles will be named something like "Supportive Table"
and "Supportive Figure"
4. It would be nice if the new styles could put in the prefix
"Supportive Table" and "Supportive Figure"

EXAMPLE of what I would like:

1 HEADING 1

Body Text Paragraph(s)

1.1 Heading 2

Body Text Paragraph(s)

1.1.1 Heading 3

Body Text Paragraph(s)

2 HEADING 1

3 HEADING 1 (i.e., SUPPORTIVE TABLES)

Supportive Table 3.1 Table Title (centered)

TABLE HERE (centered)

Supportive Table 3.2 Table Title (centered)

TABLE HERE (centered)

4.0 HEADING 1 (i.e., SUPPORTIVE FIGURES)

Supportive Figure 4.1 Figure Title (centered)

FIGURE HERE (centered)

Supportive Figure 4.2 Figure Title (centered)

FIGURE HERE (centered)
5.0 HEADING 1

Body Text Paragraph(s)


EXAMPLE of what happens:

1 HEADING 1

Body Text Paragraph(s)

Heading 2 (centered)

Body Text Paragraph(s)

1.1.1 Heading 3

Body Text Paragraph(s)

2 HEADING 1

3 HEADING 1 (i.e., SUPPORTIVE TABLES)

Supportive Table 3.1 Table Title (centered)

TABLE HERE (centered)

Supportive Table 3.2 Table Title (centered)

TABLE HERE (centered)

Well, I guess you don't need anyone to tell you that it's just dumb to have
headings at the same level numbered both 1, 2, 3, and 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, so I
assume this is some ridiculous government requirement. The only option I can
suggest is to use 1, 2, 3 numbering, followed by a period, then select
"Nothing" for "Follow number with" in the Outline Numbering dialog. You'll
have to insert your tab characters manually, but this will allow you to
insert a zero manually where needed.

You said you needed the headings centered, but they don't seem so in your
examples. If you are referring to the centered captions, then these should
be inserted using Insert | Caption with the "Include chapter number" option
selected.
