Why does auto numbering skip numbers?
I'm adding paragraph headers to an already existing Word 2003 document. When
using auto numbering, the header 2 numbers are skipping odd numbers. ie 1.2, 1.4, 1.6. How can I correct this? |

Why does auto numbering skip numbers?
You probably have some additional Heading 2s "hidden" in some way in your
document. My first suspect would be tracked changes - a "deleted" heading matching each "inserted" one. Make sure your view options are set to show hidden text, non-printing characters and revisions, and then use Find to look for Heading 2 style. -- Margaret Aldis - Microsoft Word MVP Syntagma partnership site: http://www.syntagma.co.uk Word MVP FAQ site: http://www.word.mvps.org "nilla" wrote in message ...
