Need help on formatting
Hi,
I have a document which contains topics in appendics with numbering 10, 10.1, 10.2 ....., 20 etc... I have used upto heading 7 for headings other than appendics. My question is i need to auto number this headings in appendics and generate TOC. Should i need to create new styles or any other way. Thanks in Advance. |

Does that mean you have normal headings in your document (1, 2, 3, ..., with subheadings, and in the appendix you start numbering with 10 for the first appendix chapter, 20 for the second, etc.? That seems pretty odd IMHO. More often than not, appendices are numbered with letters. I have used upto heading 7 for headings other than appendics. Wait a minute. You said 7? _Seven_!!? All in one outline numbering scheme? So you have a heading somewhere which is numbered like 3.1.1.1.1.1.2?? What kind of document is this? My question is i need to auto number this headings in appendics and generate TOC. Should i need to create new styles or any other way. Well, you can certainly use Heading 8 for that (why not)? OTOH, I suggest a reconsideration of your document structure. 7 heading styles, numbered or not, are more likely to chase away any potential reader instead of helping him comprehend the structure.

It's just barely possible that the OP has used Heading 1 for the first
heading, Heading 2 for the second, etc., and has seven chapters before the appendices. This is a common misunderstanding of the use of the heading levels. -- Suzanne S.

Then, as I said befo you _and_ your readers *will* have serious problems digesting that bit. You can certainly use Heading 8 and 9 for 10 / 20 / 30 ..., and 10.1 / 10.2 ..., respectively. If you were able to setup a workable outline numbering scheme for 7 levels, can you elaborate about the problems you face with H8 and H9? H8: Delete the "Number format" box, select Numbere style: 1, 2, 3, add a zero. H9: Delete the Number format" box, select Previous level number: 8, add a zero, a dot, and then specify Number style: 1, 2, 3. Whether this would ideally best be done within the same ListNum field list name or not, I defer to the VBA-numbering gurus ... But, once again, please tell us what kind of book this is; 7 levels is simply -- I dunno -- out of words here, I think.

But, once again, please tell us what kind of book this is; 7 levels is simply -- I dunno -- out of words here, I think. ofcourse Not, it is a document used for testing in Network Protocols. Let me say another issue in this document, the appendix contains exactly the below numbering. please explain how can i auto number the appendix using the heading levels 8 and 9 and i also should generate TOC? Appendix A 10 Appendix B 10,10.1,10.2,10.3,10.4,10.5,10.6,10.7,20,20.1,20.2 ,20.3,20.4 Appendix C 10,20 Appendix D 10,20,30,40 Appendix E 10,20,30,40,40.1 Appendix F 10,20,20.1,30 Appendix G 10,20,30,30.1,30.2,30.3,40,40.1,50 Thanks in Advance |
