Bullets & Numbering Mess
There are documents that are created in my company that have several levels
in the outline. Example: A. 1. 2. B. 1. 2. a. b. 1) 2) C. Since there are so many levels, it's easy for the numbers and/or letters to "fall" out of sequence. At times I see some numbers and letters missing from the outline. Sometimes people duplicate numbers in certain levels, etc. How can this be avoided? I really don't use styles at all. Can this be solved using styles? If not, how can I end this mess? Thank you, Karen |
