Chapter and section numbering in Word 2007
Hi,
I want to do what seems like a very basic thing in word 2007. I want to have styles called chapter, section1, section2, section3 where the numbers on the sections indicate levels. Basically i want to have a document with the following type of structure chapter 1 section 1 section 1.1 section 1.2 section 2 chapter 2 section 2 ..... where the numbering is automatically taken care of. This ought to be easy and is one of the most common things needed by anyone structuring an engineering document. I cannot find anything ready-made built-in or a simple description of how to do it myself. |

Chapter and section numbering in Word 2007
The basics of outline numbering are detailed at
http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/numb...Numbering.html. The way the principles are applied are a little different in Word 2007, but others here who are using that version can tell you what you need to do differently; I believe it has to do with using "Define new multi-level list." -- Suzanne S.

Chapter and section numbering in Word 2007
Thanks Suzanne. Unfortunately the devil is in the details. I had seen tbat
article you cite which is already pretty complicated. Even leaving that aside, as you say, Word 2007 is different and I cannot follow the same approach. "Suzanne S.

Chapter and section numbering in Word 2007
The following link http://www.mcse.ms/message2555554.html gave me the steps I
needed. A standard template for engineering documents with numbered styles for chapter and section headings is badly needed. "mfogar01" wrote: Thanks Suzanne.
