OK, thank you both. I've got it. There was one more step to do which was
to
link Level 4 in the outline to the Body Text style, as you say, and also
restart numbering after level 3. This was the bit I couldn't do. It seems
obvious now but it didn't yesterday.

As Shauna says, whether you use Heading 4 and format it as body text or
use
Body Text and give it Level 4 numbering, it should come to the same thing
provided you link the numbering to the appropriate style at the bottom of
the dialog.

Thanks Suzanne. That could be it. I did read that one really carefully
earlier, and it's just the bottom level, which I really want to be Body
Text
but be numbered properly, that I can't for the life of me work out. I
can
do
the higher levels OK.

Hi dca

The technique to follow to set up the numbering is described at
Use page numbering and let the text flow from page to page
http://www.ShaunaKelly.com/word/concepts/pagenumbers/

You can substitute Body Text for Heading 4 if you choose. I'm not
sure
whether using Body Text or Heading 4 is the "right" way to do this,
but
when
I have to choose, I consider things like:

- are likely to copy and paste from this document to others, and if
so,
would they expect these paragraphs to be headings or body text?

- how will users format the text when they paste text into this
document?

- are you likely to have to save to HTML and if so is it important
to
get
the semantics right (ie you wouldn't want to mark as a heading
material
that
really is body text).

Hope this helps.

I am trying to have an outline numbered document in this format,
in
Word
2003.

Heading 1
1 Heading 2
1.1 Heading 3
1.1.1 Body Text
1.2 Heading 3
1.2.1 Body text
1.2.2 Body text

"Body text" is where the main content of the document is. I can
do
this
with
the Outliner and just make Heading 4 as a simple looking body
text
style,
and
it works fine, but thought there might be a "right" way, such as
numbering
the Body Text paragpahs sequentially. Does anyone have any
comment?
