I want to make an outline to accompany a lecture. I want to use the I.A.1.
list from the library but it does not continue the outline when I hit enter. Some of the other forms work but this one does not. What am I doing wrong? -- Donn |

That list uses Word's built-in heading styles, and the "Style for following
paragraph" of the heading styles is Normal. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "Donn" wrote in message ...

So how do I get it to stay in that style? Do I have to go back up and hit the
button again each time? -- Donn "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: That list uses Word's built-in heading styles, and the "Style for following paragraph" of the heading styles is Normal. -- Suzanne S.

You can modify the heading styles to use the "Style for following paragraph"
that you want. For example, assuming that you are using Word 2007, you can right-click Heading 1 in the Styles pane (Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S) and then choose Modify from the context menu. Change the "Style for following paragraph" option to Heading 1, and click OK. Repeat the procedure for the other heading styles as needed. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Donn" wrote in message ... So how do I get it to stay in that style?

Thanks Stefan. That works for the first heading but not for subpoints. e.g.
if I am two or three subpoints into the outline a. does not go to b. but instead thinks I want to start a new paragraph. How do I keep it functioning consistently throughout the various subpoints? Yes, I am working with Word 2007. -- Donn "Stefan Blom" wrote: You can modify the heading styles to use the "Style for following paragraph" that you want.

If numbering is correctly linked to styles, you should be able to set the
"Style for following paragraph" to Heading 1 for the Heading 1 style, to Heading 2 for the Heading 2 style, etc. That should do the trick. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Donn" wrote in message ...
