outline number in 2007
I've been trying for hours to modify the Heading styles in a 2007 Word
document without success. I want my headings to look like: 1 heading 1 1.1 heading 2 1.1.1 heading 3 1.1.2 heading 3 2 heading 1 2.1 heading 2 2.2 heading 2 If I build a new document and define new heading styles, it works. But I can't get the same results if I try the same technique in an existing document. The number reset back to 1 for subsequent indentation. Any suggestions? This was easy in 2003. I was already put off by the user interface changes in 2007 that had zero benefit. Now I'm mad. |

outline number in 2007
I'm answering my own question... I've figured out a solution, but it
shouldn't have required this. I created a new document and modified the Heading styles to be multi-level lists. I saved this document as a document template. Then I attached this new ..dotx template to the existing word file. That seemed to work. But I'm still mad.

See How to create numbered headings or outline numbering in your Microsoft
Word document at: http://www.ShaunaKelly.com/word/numb...Numbering.html To access the dialog referred to, select the Define New Multilevel list in the MultiLevel List pulldown -- Hope this helps.

Also, remember to place the insertion point in the first level 1 item of
your list (with heading numbering, this means the first Heading 1 paragraph of the document) before clicking Home tab | Multilevel List | Define New Multilevel List. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Doug Robbins - Word MVP" wrote in message ...

Thanks for the follow up. One of the reasons I was irritated is because I
followed all the instructions, including this one (start with the first level 1 occurence), but that didn't help. The numbering of the subsequent levels (level 2 and level 3) were reseting to 1.1 or 1.1.1 with each new first level heading in the document. As I mentioned, it was no problem creating a new document that worked properly, but getting the multi-level lists to work properly in an existing document did not work until I attached a new document template to the existing document. In 2003, all this would have been unnecessary. Ordinarily, I suppose I would not have been irritated with a problem like this (new problems always surface with new products), but I was already extremely frustrated with the numerous user interface changes that (at least for me) added no value. Thanks for your attention and followup.

For problematic headings, try selecting them and pressing Ctrl+Q; this
should reset paragraph-level formatting (including numbering) to that of the underlying style. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "jim" wrote in message ... Thanks for the follow up.
