Cross reference full context not working
To modify an existing outline-numbered list in Word 2007: Place the insertion
point in the first level 1 paragraph of the list (for heading numbering, this means the first Heading 1 paragraph of the document). On the Home tab, click Multilevel List, and then click Define New Multilevel List. Word displays a dialog box similar to the Customize Outline Numbered List dialog of Word 97-2003 (and you may still find the article at http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/numb...Numbering.html useful). Use the dialog box to change any aspects of numbering; note that you probably have to click the More button to see all options. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Charlie Thibault" wrote: I solved the problem by reading the file into Word 2000, modifying the style of the Heading 1 to link to the rest of the multilayer list, saving it, and reading it back into Work 2007. I can't believe there isn't a way to do it in Word 2007, but I spent 2 days trying to figure it out and solved it in 5 minutes in Word 2000. Is that Microsoft's definition of progress? Does anyone know how to do this in Word 2007? Thanks, -- Charlie "Charlie Thibault" wrote: I have a document with lettered sections, A, B... (Heading 1) and numbered subsections 1, 2.4...

Ctrl-clicking on the reference takes me to the right place. It is as though Heading 1 got disconnected from Heading 2, 3, etc. Any way to "re-connect" them? Or any other ideas of what I can try?

Cross reference full context not working
Thanks, that works great. I never tried clicking on the Define New Multilevel
List option, because I just wanted to modify an existing one. Maybe it's just me, but I liked the old 2003 GUI better. It was much easier to find what I needed. Oh well that's progress (Microsoft style).

I'm glad I could help.
I agree that "Define New Multilevel List" is misleading. "Customize Multilevel List" would have been more appropriate. And, yes, numbering *was* easier to deal with in Word 2003. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Charlie Thibault" wrote: Thanks, that works great.
