When numbers get reversed this way, the best solution is to start over, but
you're doing it backward. Insert the previous levels, one at a time, in
order, inserting the punctuation yourself by hand. The last number is the
one for the current level, and that's the one for which you choose the
number style (1,2,3); you don't have to choose the number style for the
previous levels because Word automatically uses the style used for that
level (unless you check the "Legal style numbering" box to convert from
roman to arabic numerals).

I'm trying to outline number a report and have followed the guidance on
Shauna Kelly's page. However, my numbering is back to front - so it goes:
1
1.1
1.1.1
1.2
2.1.1
Instead of 1.2 and 1.2.1.
When I go into 'level 2' numbering, I can't link this to the previous
level
- it selects it, then unselects it by itself. If I clear level 2 and start
again by selecting 'number style 1,2,3' then choose 'previous level
number -
1' it puts the numbers together (11) and unselects the link to the
previous
level. And when I put a 'period' in it seems to swap the numbers over (so
it
ends up with 2.1 instead of 1.2).
Help please!
