Outline Numbering for Word 2007
I'm a new 2007 user and I'm frustrated with the outlining function. I'll be
outlining just fine and then all of the sudden the outlining will misnumber. Sometimes it goes backwards -- A, B, A or starts off at a random number like 3. Then sometimes it will randomly bold, even though bold hadn't been used for several lines. I would appreciate it if anyone can help fix this before I throw my computer out of the window. Thank you. |

Outline Numbering for Word 2007
Set up numbering with *styles* to have it work properly; that hasn't changed
from previous versions. To edit an existing outline-numbered list in Word 2007, place the insertion point in the first top-level item (which means the first Heading 1 of the document for heading numbering). Then click the Home tab of the ribbon, and click Multilevel List | Define New Multilevel List. Word displays a dialog box simliar to the Customize Outline Numbered List dialog of Word 97-2003. You may still find the article at http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/numb...Numbering.html helpful. The quickest way to create a new outline numbered list is to choose one of the built-in formats at Home tab | Multilevel List (it can then be modified as described above). Note that it may be safer to create a list style in Word: Click Home tab | Multilevel List | Define New List Style. Give the list style a name. Click Format, and then click Numbering to specify the desired characteristics of the style (including associated paragraph styles). -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Jennifer M."

Outline Numbering for Word 2007
I must really be blind, I click on the Home tab and do not see "Multilevel List | Define New Multilevel List" anywhere. Is that off of the ribbon, off of a menu somewhere, a right click, on the right side, ...(?) Thanks.

Also, note that having ScreenTips displayed (Popular tab of the Word Options
dialog box) helps identify the various buttons. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "WhiteRat" wrote in message ... On mine, it is on the Paragraph section on the Home tab. Just above the justification select buttons. There are 3 of them, and the one on the right end is the one for multilevel list options. "Bob Hmine" Bob wrote in message ...
