Issues with Outline Numbering in the Headers
I'm experiencing an issue with outline numbering in the Headers of a
document. What I'm trying to do is set up a document with the chapters shown in the headers of each section. I did this by setting up numbering styles in the header. However now I'm getting this issue were I'm working on the third section of the document, and instead of number this section 3 word skips it and goes to 4. I cannot figure out what is going on or how to correct this problem. I would appreciate anybody's help on this. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

Issues with Outline Numbering in the Headers
A frequent reason for a skipped outline number is that an empty paragraph
somewhere has been given the style that's being counted. Are you saying that your chapter headings only appear in the header of your document?

Issues with Outline Numbering in the Headers
There must be an extra Section Break in there somewhere -- the easiest
way to locate it is to switch to Normal (Draft) View, when they show up as double lines across the page.

Issues with Outline Numbering in the Headers
There was an extra section break. But now I have numbering within the body of
the text that follows the header. Basically if the header is 3, then the next item within the body will have to be 3.1. But now word will not continue the number on to three, instead it continues the numbering from the previous section.

Issues with Outline Numbering in the Headers
You haven't said which version of Word you are using so ... however you get
to the right dialog box, make sure numbering level 2 is set to restart after numbering level 1. BTW, if you still want to have the chapter heading in the headers as reader guides, you can use a StyleRef field. PamC Ozzie6616 wrote: There was an extra section break.

But now word will not continue the number on to three, instead it continues the numbering from the previous section. There must be an extra Section Break in there somewhere -- the easiest way to locate it is to switch to Normal (Draft) View, when they show [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] I would appreciate anybody's help on this. -- Message posted via http://www.officekb.com |

Issues with Outline Numbering in the Headers
I don't follow ...
Are the numbered paragraphs (that are supposed to bear the top-level outline numbers) actually in the headers? (Does that actually work?) Wouldn't it make more sense to use outline-numbered headings, and put the numbers into the headers via a STYLEREF field? On Feb 20, 4:04*pm, Ozzie6616 wrote: There was an extra section break.
