Heading Styles Numbering Problem.
Hello All,
I am creating a framework design document in Word 2003. I have used 4 levels of headings - Heading 1-4. The first 2 levels display properly whereas the level 3 and 4 headings appear in a wierd fashion. For example. After 3 (Heading 1) 3.1, 3.2 etc., appears (Heading 2), later Heading 3 appears as 2.3.1 and Heading 4 appears as 1.3.2.1. I am unable to understand this phenomena. I have defined the styles in a the appropriate manner i.e., filled in the appropriate details in all the fields - Previous Level Number, Link Level to Style, Restart Numbering After etc. Please guide me and provide the solution for this problem I face. Thanks to all. Vidya. |

Heading Styles Numbering Problem.
It seems as if the current level number and previous level numbers are
in the wrong order in the "Number format" box of the Customize Outline Numbered List dialog box. Since you can't tell them apart (they all display with a grey background), you'd better delete them and re-insert them, using the "Previous level number" and "Number style" boxes. When modifying the numbering formatting, make sure to start at the Heading 1 style, as explained at http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/numb...Numbering.html. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Prateeksha" wrote in message ...

Stefan, Thanks for the valuable guidance. I was able to sort out the issue
and complete the document as required. The link that you provided gave me insight into the intricacies of defining an outline numbered style. Vidya.
