Thumbs up Answer: Removing outline numbering from heading styles?

Yes, there is a way to remove the outline numbering from all the styles in Microsoft Word. Here's how:
  1. Go to the Home tab and click on the small arrow in the bottom right corner of the Styles group to open the Styles pane.
  2. In the Styles pane, click on the Options button in the bottom left corner and select "Select styles to show" from the dropdown menu.
  3. In the "Select styles to show" dialog box, select "All styles" and click OK.
  4. Scroll down the list of styles until you find the heading styles that have the numbering applied (e.g. Heading 1, Heading 2, etc.).
  5. Right-click on each heading style and select "Modify" from the context menu.
  6. In the Modify Style dialog box, click on the Format button in the bottom left corner and select "Numbering" from the dropdown menu.
  7. In the Numbering dialog box, select "None" from the list of numbering styles and click OK.
  8. Click OK again to close the Modify Style dialog box.
  9. Repeat steps 5-8 for each heading style that has the numbering applied.
  10. Once you have removed the numbering from all the heading styles, click on the Options button in the Styles pane again and select "Recommended" from the dropdown menu to hide the styles you don't need.

That's it! Now all your heading styles should be back to simple headings without numbers.
