Trouble with Outline Numbering
It seems as if the entries in the Number Format box (in the Customize
Outline Numbered list dialog box) have been reversed for level two and three numbering, so that the "Previous level number" is in fact displayed *after* the current level number. Since you can't tell the difference between the various numbers (by looking at them), you'd better clear the contents of the box and reinsert it. If you are using styles to set up numbering, which is recommended, start at the top-level style when modifying, and then, in the Modify Style dialog box, choose Format | Numbering, click the Customize button. See http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/numb...Numbering.html. If you are not using styles, place the insertion point in the first paragraph which has a level one number applied, and then access level two and three via Format | Bullets and Numbering, Outline Numbered tab, Customize button. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Bob" wrote in message ...
