Numbering Levels won't increment correctly
After closely following Shauna Kelly's instructions on "How to Create
Numbered Headings or Outline Numbering in Word" I'm still having problems getting the results I need. This is what I want: Chapter 1 1.1 TITLE 1.1.1 Subtitle 1.2 TITLE 1.2.1 Subtitle 1.2.2 Subtitle Chapter 2 2.1 TITLE 2.1.1 Subtitle 2.1.2 Subtitle 2.2 TITLE Chapter 3 3.1 TITLE and so on.......... My outline number list modifications look like this: Chapter 1 1.1 1.1.1 1.1.1.1 and so on.............. What should I modify to be able to get the same numbering scheme, but starting with 2 for Chapter 2, 3 for Chapter 3 and son on? Do I need a new style for each Chapter? Thanks for any help you can give me as I've been messing with this for days and have only managed to make myself crazy! |

Numbering Levels won't increment correctly
Two questions:
Are you using "Chapter 1" as the Level 1 style? (It certainly appears so.) You'll need to do this if you want renumbering to start in each chapter. Renumbering should occur automatically; the first instance of the Level 1 style should be numbered 1, the next 2, and so on. Are all the chapters in the same document? If not, you'll have to restart numbering manually, and this will cause problems when you combine the files (as you will probably want to do ultimately). It's really much simpler to deal with a single document from the start, for this reason and others. Word can handle multiple thousands of pages of text, so it can pretty much take whatever you throw at it. -- Suzanne S.

Numbering Levels won't increment correctly
1. Yes Chapter 1 is Level 1. I'm not sure what you're telling me as far as
the styles being numbered 1, 2, and so on though - the 9 levels within the same Heading 1 Style? If that's what you're talking about, I currently have them numbered 1.1, 1.1.1, 1.1.1.1, etc. - do you mean I should change them to 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, etc.? I've tried this without achieving the desired results. 2. This is one large document containing all Chapters. I've messed with this thing so much I think I no longer understand what I thought I did! Is there any way to reset all the Headings to the default settings so I can start over again? I usually don't have a problem figuring out the way a software package handles things, but this continues to be quite the challenge! And, correct me if I'm wrong, but in order to be able to use my styles in other documents, I have to be sure to check the "Add to Template" box when I'm through making my changes, correct? Thanks for your input - I'm not used to having to ask for help as I usually have no problem figuring it out for myself! "Suzanne S.

Numbering Levels won't increment correctly
Have you followed the instructions in
http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/numb...umbering.html? Your Heading 1 should be linked to Level 1, Heading 2 to Level 2, etc. If you started with one of the numbering schemes that says Heading 1, Heading 2, Heading 3, then the levels are already linked to the heading styles and set restart numbering after each higher-level style. If this is set up correctly, then your first Heading 1 will be Chapter 1, the next Heading 1 will be Chapter 2, and so on, and the Heading 2 paragraphs within Chapter 1 will be numbered 1.1, 1.2, etc. -- Suzanne S.
