I don't think you're doing anything wrong. From your description, everything
is set up as it should be. But are you perhaps tracking changes? If so,
numbering will not be correct until all changes are accepted. If that's not
the issue, shoot me the document, and I'll take a look.

Suzanne,
I just noticed that when I put my cursor in the Heading 1 paragraph and go
to the customize outline numbered list the Previous level number for
Level 2
is 1; but for Levels 3 - 9 the Previous level number is also 1. The
option
for the other levels is there but when I select it, it defaults to 1 until
I
move to the next level. But when I go back to the level before it, for
instance 3, it will show the previous level number as 2 but in the Number
format box the first number shows up as 11. The re-start numbering after
is
correct for all the levels. What am I doing wrong? Again, thank you for
your help.

Are all the headings at that level showing 3.x.3? It could be that the
third
field is picking up the Level 1 numbering instead of being new numbering
for
Level 3.

If not, is there a 3.1.3 before 3.1.4?

Suzanne,
I followed your instruction on numbering. It makes perfect sense.
The
problem I'm having is that in one occasion (so far) for Heading 3
where
it
should be 3.1.4 it states 3.1.3. When I go in and look at the
numbering
for
the Headings everything looks fine. Any ideas on how to fix? Thanks

Make sure you have set up the numbering as described in
http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/numb...Numbering.html. The
two
important points are that (1) all style changes need to be done
through
the
top-level style, and (2) all tabs and indents must be set in the
Numbering
dialog, not Paragraph.

Hi there --

I have a very odd outline numbering problem. I have tried
everything
I
can
think of to fix it, and I'm at wit's end.

Here's the setup:
I created a template using a couple of different outlined
numbering
"schemes." I created all of them using "styles and formatting"
and
have
made
sure that any changes have been made via "styles and formatting"
as
well.

I have a document that has several levels of "notes" --- Note,
Reminder,
Caution, Warning, Timesaver, Tip. I set them up as on outlined
numbered
list
with the "number style" as none and the "number format" being
Note,
Reminder,
etc. (Sigh -- perhaps I shouldn't have done it that way, but at
the
time
it
seemed like the right thing to do....)

In the List_Num field, I used the name "notes_list"

This is how it looks level-wise:
Level 1: Number format = Note; aligned = .8; tabspace after and
indent
after
= 1.2
Level 2: Number format = Reminder; aligned = .8; tabspace after
and
indent
after = 1.5
Level 3: Number format = Caution; aligned = .8; tabspace after and
indent
after = 1.5
Level 4: Number format = Warning!; aligned = .8; tabspace after
and
indent
after = 1.5
Level 5: Number format = Timesaver; aligned = .8; tabspace after
and
indent
after = 1.5
Level 6: Number format = Tip; aligned = .8; tabspace after and
indent
after
= 1.2

I created a document based on the template and applied my styles
accordingly.

Here's the problem ....
When I open my document, my Level 2 "Reminder" is not indented
correctly --
and if I go the the "Styles and Formatting" and look only at the
"Reminder"
style, it now says that I have a left indent of .25 with a hanging
ident
of
.25 and a tab at .5.

BUT..... if I go to my level 1 style of Note, choose to modify it,
and
go
to
"numbering" and "customize", the level 2 Reminder is still set to
the
left
alignment and tab space/indents as it was set up in the .dot (left
indent
of
.8; tabsapce/ident after 1.2).

If I cycle through all the levels there, and the OK back out to my
document
--- the Reminder is now indented correctly.

BUT .... if I save and close the document and then re-open it, the
problem
appears again!!

AAAARRRGHHHH!

Any help or words of wisdom??

Thanks so much.
