Multilevel numbering
Hi,
I have to work on an MS word document that is giving me 1 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.1.2 2 2.1 1.1.3 2.2 1.1.4 I tried my best and have seen videos and can't understand: How I can make sure that after my paragraph changes to say 3.1 I have 3.1.1 and not 1.1.3?? Please can you describe to me where my mistake is and how to solve it? Thanks a lot for your help, Paolobonja Last edited by paolobonja : January 2nd 15 at 04:13 PM |

Multilevel numbering
To make a multi-level numbered list, you must place your cursor in the very
first paragraph that will have a number. (In this case, it's para. 1.) On the Home tab, click the icon for a multi-level list, and at the bottom of the panel that appears, choose "New multilevel list." A pane will open up. Click "More" and a little addition appears at the right (where all the important items are). Choose Level 1 and assign it to one of the paragraph styles (probably the one called "Heading 1"). Then choose Level 2, assign it to the next paragraph style, and make sure you see "1.1." in the window at the left, and be sure to check "Restart numbering after Level 1." Then do the same for Level 3. I don't think you can do this by trying to change the existing schema, you have to start with a "New" one.

Multilevel numbering
In the Multilevel List dialog box, make use of the "Follow number with" box.
For example, if you want a single space character, just select "Space" for "Follow number with." Alternatively, you can pick "Tab character" and then select "Add tab stop at" and specify the desired value. Some trial and error may be required to find the most suitable value. See the screen shot in the article I linked to. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "paolobonja" wrote in message news Hi Stefan, I also got two small questions: now that the headings and styles are working 1- how can I leave a space between my paragraph number and the beginning of the paragraph? 2- Another small problem I got is why when I update my table of contents sometimes instead of having the paragraph number and page number I get the details of the paragraph in the table of contents. It doesn't happen for all the paragraph numbers by the way.... Thanks for your help.

Multilevel numbering
Try this first: Press Alt+F9 to display field codes. The TOC field will look
similar to { TOC \o "1-3" \u \h }. Delete the \u switch if it is present. Update the TOC with F9 (if prompted, choose to update the whole table) and then hide field codes again by pressing Alt+F9 a second time. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "paolobonja" wrote in message news Thanks a lot Stefan, what about when I update my table of contents instead of getting the heading and the page number, in some case I get also the detailed text of the paragraph in this case I start to delete manually.
