Default Multilevel numbering

Try this first: Press Alt+F9 to display field codes. The TOC field will look
similar to { TOC \o "1-3" \u \h }. Delete the \u switch if it is present.
Update the TOC with F9 (if prompted, choose to update the whole table) and
then hide field codes again by pressing Alt+F9 a second time.

Thanks a lot Stefan,

what about when I update my table of contents instead of getting the
heading and the page number, in some case I get also the detailed text
of the paragraph in this case I start to delete manually.

I appreciate your help

'Stefan Blom[_3_ Wrote:
;495711']In the Multilevel List dialog box, make use of the "Follow
number with" box.
For example, if you want a single space character, just select "Space"
for
"Follow number with."

Alternatively, you can pick "Tab character" and then select "Add tab
stop
at" and specify the desired value. Some trial and error may be required
to
find the most suitable value.

See the screen shot in the article I linked to.

Hi Stefan, I also got two small questions: now that the headings and
styles are working 1- how can I leave a space between my paragraph
number and the beginning of the paragraph? 2- Another small problem I
got is why when I update my table of contents sometimes instead of
having the paragraph number and page number I get the details of the
paragraph in the table of contents. It doesn't happen for all the
paragraph numbers by the way....

Thanks for your help. W

Paolo

To make a multi-level numbered list, you must place your cursor in the
very
first paragraph that will have a number. (In this case, it's para. 1.)

On the Home tab, click the icon for a multi-level list, and at the
bottom of the panel that appears, choose "New multilevel list." A pane
will open up.
Click "More" and a little addition appears at the right (where all the
important items are). Choose Level 1 and assign it to one of the
paragraph styles (probably the one called "Heading 1"). Then choose
Level 2, assign it
to the next paragraph style, and make sure you see "1.1." in the
window
at
the left, and be sure to check "Restart numbering after Level 1." Then
do
the same for Level 3.

I don't think you can do this by trying to change the existing schema,
you
have to start with a "New" one.

Hi,

I have to a work document that was giving me

1
1.1
1.2
1.3
1.1.2
2
2.1
1.1.3
2.2
1.1.4

I tried my best and have seen videos and can't understand: How I can
make sure that after my paragraph changes to say 3.1 I have 3.1.1 and
not 1.1.3?? Please can you describe to me where my mistake is and how
to
solve it?

Thanks a lot for your help,
