Normal Style following Heading
Is there a way to make the "normal" style pick up the tab position of a
previous heading style? The question came up for ease of reading..... 1. Heading 1 Heading 1 normal text 1.1 Heading 2 Heading 2 normal text 1.1.1 Heading 3 Heading 3 normal text That didn't turn out exactly correct, but you get the idea. I know I could set up a paragraph style to start automatically after the heading, but I was hoping to have a setting on the "normal" style to do it automatically..... Thanks!! |

I gather that you want the body text under the different headings indented in such a way that it matches where the text begins. This is possible by making different BodyText styles for each level. Set the indenting in Format/Paragraph to the same value as the tab setting (say 15 mm for level 1). Call this style BodyStyle1. Do the same for the next levels (BodyStyle2, etc). You can set your Heading Style to be followed by the appropriate BodyStyle in your style definition. Note that there are disadvantages in your approach. First, you lose space. I would not apply it to more than two levels. You could also match it to where the numbering begins, to gain some space and still have some indenting effect which indeed supports structuring of the text. Second, you lose flexibility if you want to promote or demaote the text later. Third, the number of styles will explode as you probably also need bulleted lists, numbered lists etc for each BodyText level.... HTH -- Henk57 |

Normal Style following Heading
I'm afraid you'll need to define multiple body text styles, one for each
heading style, and make each the "Style for following paragraph" of the corresponding heading style. If you need text with a left indent (rather than just the first-line indent), you might want to start with the List Continue styles, which have an indent to begin with, though you may need to modify the indents to match your headings. -- Suzanne S.

I was afraid of that..... That's ok though, I think I can come up with a
different workaround to make the document appear better. Thanks for the response! "Suzanne S.
