To add to what Suzanne has said, for details on setting up a multilevel list, you may find the article at
http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/numb...Numbering.html useful.
Note, however, that the article wasn't written for Word 2007. In that version, you can use Home tab | Multilevel List | Define New Multilevel List to create your numbering. If you are trying to edit an existing list, place the insertion point in the first level 1 item (for heading numbering, this means the first Heading 1 paragraph of the document) before clicking the command.

First of all, although there may be other good reasons for using Word
2007, you can have an "automated" TOC and index in any version of Word.
And the best way to restart numbering is with a higher-level style. You
can have an unnumbered style for Level 1 and start the numbering at Level
2. See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Numbering/...artMethods.htm
I would advise using Heading 1 for your chapter title and Heading 2 for
your first-level subhead. OTOH, when you restart numbering in each
chapter, it's conventional to add the chapter number to the lower levels,
so you might use Heading 1 for the chapter number instead of the chapter
title.

I have produced a thesis of around 100,000 words in Word 2007 using docx
format (because I want to use automated TOC and Indexing).
My doucment is divided into sections (using section breaks), each
comprising
a chapter with a Title. I have been using the outline headings provided
in
Styles, using levels 1 through to 6. Presently the numbering runs on
through
the sections which results in huge numbers, as you would imagine.
How do I make the heading numbers reset to 1 in each new section of the
document?
