Word 2007 - Adding text to outline numbering in heading style?
Does anyone know whether it still is possible, and if so how, to add text to
numbering in heading styles (e.g., Section #; Paragraph #). It is possible to add text in Word 2003 through the Modify Style dialog box, but the Outline Numbered and List Styles tabs have disappeared from Numbering in the Format submenu of the Modify Style dialog box, leaving only Bulleted and Numbered tabs. If the functions performed by the missing tabs have been moved somewhere else, I haven't been able to find them. -- Richard |

Word 2007 - Adding text to outline numbering in heading style?
To edit an existing outline-numbered list in Word 2007: Place the insertion
point in the top-level paragraph (usually Heading 1 if this is numbered headings). Then, on the Home tab of the ribbon, click Multilevel List, and then click Define New Multilevel List. This presents a dialog box similar to the Customize Outline Numbered List dialog box of previous versions. Note that if/when you are creating a new list, you may find it easier to create a list style. It can be (re-)applied to text via the Multilevel List button, where it will be listed under "List Styles" (as soon as at least one has been created), and you can edit an existing list style by right-clicking it and choosing Modify from the context menu. When setting up a list style, you should still attach each numbering level to a paragraph style, as in previous versions of Word, though. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Richard B" wrote in message ...

Thank you for the tip. Without having tried it, however, at first glance it
looks like a rather complicated fix by Microsoft for something that wasn't broken. Perhaps in time I'll come to love it. -- Richard "Stefan Blom" wrote: To edit an existing outline-numbered list in Word 2007: Place the insertion point in the top-level paragraph (usually Heading 1 if this is numbered headings).

Perhaps in time I'll come to love it. I reckon there are not that many users out there who'd say that numbering is not "broken", one way or another ... ;-) That said, I've found a numbering approach over the years that, w/o list styles, worked reasonably well up to Word 2003. In 2007, I don't see an easy way around them anymore, and yes, through the UI, it seems like a bit more work. ..2cents Robert -- /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | MSFT | \ / | MVP | Scientific Reports X Against HTML | for | with Word? / \ in e-mail & news | Word | http://www.masteringword.eu/ |

An easy way to make list styles more user friendly would be to supply the
built-in numbering formats as list styles. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Robert M. Franz (RMF)" wrote in message ... Hi Richard Richard B wrote: Thank you for the tip.

Hello Stefan
Stefan Blom wrote: An easy way to make list styles more user friendly would be to supply the built-in numbering formats as list styles. that would do away with lots of direct numbering formatting, I guess. Interesting thought.
