Continue Numbering Format
Hey
I have to admit Bullets and Numbering have always drove me completely insane but this is the worst I've had. I've inherited a document which I need to add one extra part to. The document consists of a table of contents field with numbering going to three levels (e.g. 1.1.1). Then this links to the sections in document itself. The last number of Section 4 is 4.3.30. I want to add Section 4.3.31. I have tried simply continuing the numbering but I do not get this option. I go to just below section 4.3.30, I right click Bullets and Numbering Outline Numbering and the option to continue numbering just isn't there. I try creating a new numbering system which starts at 4.3.31 but the formatting is all wrong and besides this seems unprofessional - I just want to continue the numbering. I've tried in both the table of contents and the main document but nothing. Normally Word is overy enthusiastic about continuing Numbering with the same formatting but I just cannot do it in this case. Any ideas? Thanks |

I think you are going about this the wrong way from your description.
Go to point in the document you want the new heading to be, after the described 4.3.30. Insert new paragrah (if none there already) add the text you want to be the new heading, then apply the Style Heading 3 (Word built-in Ctrl+Alt+3). The new heading should now be 4.3.31. If the document has another style for this Heading level, i.e. not the built-in, then use that style. You can use the Format Painter (paintbrush) icon to capture the style from 4.3.30 and paint on to the new text. Then refresh the Table of Contents, and 4.3.31 should now appear.

Where you want Heading 4.3.31 to be, insert a paragraph (type Enter).
With the cursor in that paragraph (whether or not you've typed the content of the heading yet), select the style Heading3 (or whatever style is on Heading 4.3.30). The heading style is probably set to be followed by Normal, so you can just keep typing.
