Auto numbered paragraphs in Word 2007
I'm lost. I guess this is pretty simple in Word 2007, but cannot find a
solution. I based heading 1 on no-style, and all subsequent ones on thet style. But it doesn't seem to "remember" the numbering sequence when i create a paragraph of lower level. Any idea on how to fix it? Thanks, Stefano |

Auto numbered paragraphs in Word 2007
Did you set the numbering sequence through the multilevel list icon on the
Home ribbon? PamC smaruzzi wrote: I'm lost. I guess this is pretty simple in Word 2007, but cannot find a solution. I based heading 1 on no-style, and all subsequent ones on thet style.

Auto numbered paragraphs in Word 2007
Pamc,
when should i select it? I thought the logical sequence of action would have been: - select heading one based on no style; - remove any form of indemtation; - set the numbering attribute (but multilevel is not accessible from within it) - select other lower heading levels, and base each one of the on the previous style so that to "inherit" the numbering attribute. Apparently it doesn't work like that. Stefano "PamC via OfficeKB.com" wrote: Did you set the numbering sequence through the multilevel list icon on the Home ribbon? PamC smaruzzi wrote: I'm lost.

Auto numbered paragraphs in Word 2007
You must be used to W2003 where you link a style to a numbering scheme
through the heading 1 modify styles dialog. W2007 works a little differently: through the multilievel list icon. First place the cursor in the first heading 1 in your document, then click the multilevel list icon and choose a list scheme that looks the most like what you want. You'll be moved back into the document and, if you chose a scheme with the headings already linked to numbering levels, your headings will have auto numbers. If you need to make any customizations to the numbering scheme, again, put the cursor in the first heading 1, click the multilevel list icon, and then at the bottom of the list gallery choose Define new multilevel list. The dialog that opens to take your settings looks very much like the one in W2003. ,HTH PamC smaruzzi wrote: Pamc, when should i select it?

Define New Multilevel List will enable you to define a new numbering scheme but it doesn't provide a means to modify the scheme later -- you'd need to use Define New Multilevel List again, create new numbering scheme, and cross your fingers the one you didn't want is removed from the document and doesn't come back to haunt you later in the form of spaghetti numbering. Define New List Style also enables to define a new numbering scheme but it also enables you to assign a name to your numbering scheme so it can be modified later by right-clicking the thumbnail in the Multilevel List gallery and then clicking Modify. Note: After you select Define New List Style assign a name to your List Style, click Format at the bottom and then click Numbering to access the Multilevel List dialog box. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Beth Melton Microsoft Office MVP https://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile/Melton What is a Microsoft MVP? http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/gp/mvpfaqs Guides for the Office 2007 Interface: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/tr...295841033.aspx |

Auto numbered paragraphs in Word 2007
If you carefully place the insertion point in the first top-level paragraph
of a numbered list, you can use the Define New Multilevel List dialog box to modify an existing list. This approach is necessary if you are editing a list created (without list styles) in an older version of Word. Of course, for new lists in Word 2007, using list styles will be easier. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Beth Melton" wrote in message ...

Auto numbered paragraphs in Word 2007
Note the operative word is "carefully". ;-)
Ideally any unused list template will be deleted from the document after its saved and closed but I've found this doesn't always work. Your list will take on the newly defined modifications but the old list template remains in the document even after its saved and closed. Note it doesn't appear under "Lists in current document" but if you run: MsgBox ActiveDocument.ListTemplates.Count it will show the additional list templates. There's also the issue of using a List Style and adding more than one list template to the document (it was 4 at one time now I think it's 2) but unlike the Define New Multilevel List the count will at least remain consistent. This isn't easy to repro in newly created documents but if you have a document that has numerous edits, starting/stopping numbering, etc, it's easy to reproduce. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Beth Melton Microsoft Office MVP https://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile/Melton What is a Microsoft MVP? http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/gp/mvpfaqs Guides for the Office 2007 Interface: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/tr...295841033.aspx "Stefan Blom" wrote in message ...
