style numbering is not following "start at' instruction
I have a heading style set with numbering. its the only style in my document
that has numbering. the number format is set to A, B, C, etc and I have set it to start at "A". However, when applied to any text the style is starting at B? I have tried selecting all the text in the document and reseting to normal style. Then apply my heading and still it starts at B? Where is my missing first heading? There are no section breaks in my doc. Word 20002, XP. MB. |

Display the Modify Style dialog for your heading style. Click Format
Bullets and Numbering. Click Customize. Change the 'Start At' value to 1. "Mike B" wrote in message ...

Hi Mike, Two other things: -- If your style is part of an outline, and is not the "top" style, it might start at "B" if you have not used the "top level" style. Word outlines assume a proper hierarchy. If a top level is missing, Word just assumes it exists anyway. -- If you have changed around a lot, maybe you have acquired restarts. Resetting the paragraphs (Ctrl+Q, or reapply the style) should fix that. In a long document, you might replace the heading styles with themselves (leaving "Find what" and "Replace with" empty) to reset the paragraph formatting and remove manual restarts. Regards, Klaus |

might start at "B" if you have not used the "top level" style. Word outlines assume a proper hierarchy. If a top level is missing, Word just assumes it exists anyway. I didn't explain that too well. Say you have a "Heading 1" style numbered A, B, C, ... And a "Heading 2" style numbered 1, 2, 3, ..., belonging to the same outline. Then your document might look like this: 1. Heading 2 2. Heading 2 B Heading 1 1. Heading 2 2. Heading 2 C Heading 1 .... That's because there is a "missing" Heading 1 at the start, and Word just assumes the first two "Heading 2" belong to main chapter "A". Klaus |
