It sounds as if you must have typed a 1 into the "Number format" box for
Level 2. You need to delete that and select 1, 2, 3 from the "Number style" box and set the numbering to restart after Level 1. To clarify: Heading 1 is used for the top-level heading in the document. In your case this is probably the chapter number. Heading 2 is used for your Level 2 subheads--all of them. Heading 3 is for #3 heads, Heading 4 for #4 heads, and so on--with the proviso that there shouldn't be any "and so on." Any document that uses more than four levels of subheads will be unreadable (and this *does* apply to bureaucratic and legalistic mumbo-jumbo). -- Suzanne S.

But, when I try to label each subheading of a chapter with my Level 2 type heading, then each subheading gets labeled as Chapter #.1. They all end in .1 because that is how I asked level 2 to be numbered when I formatted the numbering. And, I followed the Shelley instructions and formatted the numbering in the Header 1 type only. Because this happened, I just used Header 3 for subheading 3 in all chapters, Header 4 for all subheading 4 in all chapters, and it worked.... With the one flaw: I don't have enough headers to get through the long chapters. Does this have something to do with checking or not checking the "restart numbering after" box when formatting the numbers? "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: I don't have an answer about the continued headings (which I would omit, though you might want to look into the use of the StyleRef field for this), but I think you have a misconception about the numbering. The heading numbers 4.9, 4.10, and 4.11 should all be the same level: Level 2. Assuming that the chapter number (Chapter 4 in this case) is Level 1, then Level 2 repeats the chapter number and adds its own numbering, from 1 to as high as you need to count. -- Suzanne S.

"c_angler" wrote in message ... Thank You Suzanne. I had gone to that website before based on your advice to others, and I must have been doing something wrong still. It is working now so far, but 2 more questions. I adjusted all Levels 1-9, but in at least one chapter, I have more than 8 sub headings. How do I get subheaders after that. For example I need 4.9, 4.10, 4.11, etc. My second question is: In some chapters the sub headed paragraphs go on for more than one page, so I put cont. in the title. However, I do not want the "cont" headers in my TOC. For example section 2.1 is on page 3 pages. I use the same Header 2 for each of those pages, but on every page after the first, I just type the word cont. How do I keep all the continued headers out of the TOC? Thanks "Suzanne S.

"c_angler" wrote in message ... I am trying to number sub headings in chapters. All chapter titles are working with Header 1. Now I need each chapter sub heading to be numbered like this: for Chapter 1: 1.1,1.2,1.3 for Chapter 2: 2.1, 2.2, 2.3. I want two digits showing. I have gone to a Header 2 for that, and tried to modify numbering, even unchecked the box that says restart numbering after, and all my subheads throughout the multi chapter document are labeled 1.1. What am I doing wrong? I have read all the answers I can find in the group session and still can't fix this thing! The document was written with little or no styles applied, and I am having to do that now. Thanks in advance. |
