Outline numbering - multiple levels on single line?
Hi all. Hoping someone can help or point me to a tutorial.
Am running Word 2003, XP. I need to do some complex numbering in a large-ish document and I want to streamline the work as much as possible. I've dabbled in Styles and Formatting, and Outline Numbering but I'm having a hard time getting it to work. I basically want to be able to set out a series of exam questions with a heirarchy a bit like this: 1. (a) (i) (ii) (b) 2. (a) (b) (c) (i) (ii) etc I'd like the all the numbering elements (numbers, letters and roman numerals) to left align in a set position. Problem is that some questions will have parts (i), (ii) while others won't. Some questions might not even have (a), (b) etc. Can Word's outline numbering solve my problem? Thanks!! |

Set up numbering as explained at
http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/numb...Numbering.html, and then add numbering by applying the appropriate paragraph style to text. If you want more than one outline level on the same text line (as indicated by your example), you can apply the appropriate style for the first (left-most) number, and then insert the others as LISTNUM fields. To add a LISTNUM field, you can use Insert | Reference | Field. Dont' choose a "List name," but specify the desired "Level in the list." When you are done, click OK. Note that in order to change the numbering level of an inserted LISTNUM field, you can right-click it and choose Increase Indent / Decrease Indent from the context menu. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "faerie_bel" wrote in message ...

Outline numbering - multiple levels on single line?
Thank you very much Stefan! I'm 99% of the way there.
I'm just having a problem saving more than one ListNum field. I followed yours and Shauna Kelly's instructions with setting up the Customize Outline Numbering List dialog. But when I press OK to leave, it only seems to save one ListNum that I named, rather than one each for Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3. So I'm stuck! Thanks in advance...

The list name is for the whole outline-numbered list (that is, for all
levels). To specify a particular list level in a LISTNUM field, use the \L switch (or Increase Indent / Decrease Indent as I suggested in my previous message). Note, however, that if you are using LISTNUM fields within outline-numbered paragraphs only, you shouldn't have to make use of list names at all. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "faerie_bel" wrote in message ...
