Outline numbering glitch
OK, I have read Shaua's outline numbering piece numerous times, and I have
carefully reviewed my Word 2003 Heading 1 settings to make sure they follow her directions. But I still get this Chapter 1. 1.1. Chapter 2. 2.1. 1.2.1. 1.2.1.1. When I want this Chapter 1. 1.1. Chapter 2. 2.1. 2.1.1. 2.1.1.1. I know this has something to do with renumbering after level 2 but I'm not sure what. Maybe one of you can help. Thanks. -- Wallace |

Outline numbering glitch
It seems as if the previous level numbers and the current level number have
been reversed for level 3. In the Customize Outline Numbered List dialog box, delete the contents of the "Number format" box for level 3. Then reinsert numbers in the correct order, using the list for previous numbering levels as well as the "Number style" for the current level number. Type in the periods.

Outline numbering glitch
Well, some progress. I did what you suggested and level 3 did in fact change
to what I wanted. I did the same thing for level 4, though, and got this Chapter 2. 2.1. 2.1.1. 1.2.1.1. I double-checked using the previous level dropdown to insert the numbers, and checked to ensure that the numbering restarted after level 3. Oh yes, and following Shauna's directions, all the levels are connected to their respective heading styles. -- Wallace "Stefan Blom" wrote: It seems as if the previous level numbers and the current level number have been reversed for level 3.

Outline numbering glitch
OK --- my problem was that I did not enter the numbering style for level one
by using "level 1" in the "Previous Level" dropdown. I was reading it too literally and assuming that Level 1 had no previous level, so how could I enter it by using some dad-blamed "previous level" dropdown? The problem was that Word did not record the previous level as level one, but began the string at level 2. By using the Previous Level dropdown to enter the numbering style for level 1, I integrated it into the numbering family so that subsequent levels would pick up that previous level number and not begin numbering until after the previous level number or numbers had been passed. Well, what the hay --- 4 years of undergrad, 3 years of law school and it only took me about a half a day to figure this out. Stefan, thank you very much for pointing me in the right direction. -- Wallace "Stefan Blom" wrote: It seems as if the previous level numbers and the current level number have been reversed for level 3.

Just think, luckily you were doing it for yourself and not charging someone your usual hourly fees, otherwise it would have taken you a few days, if not a few weeks! ;-) |

Well, what the hay --- 4 years of undergrad, 3 years of law school and it only took me about a half a day to figure this out. I'm a bit confused by your description above... For level 1 you should be able to use the "Number style" box to add numbering (or to change the number style of existing numbering at the chosen level); the "Previous level" box is required only when adding higher levels to a lower level (for example, when including the numbering of level 1 and 2 at level 3). Stefan, thank you very much for pointing me in the right direction. I'm glad I could help. :-) -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP -- Wallace "Stefan Blom" wrote: It seems as if the previous level numbers and the current level number have been reversed for level 3.
