Setting up a hierarchy of numbered styles
I am having a difficult time finding a "how to" guide for setting up a
numbering styled template in word 2007. I see several tutorials on styles generally, but I need assistance for lengthy documents that have sections, subsections, etc. and a need to customize the document. Does anyone know of any good sources or "how to" guides for setting up these hiearchy's? I need to go beyond the appearance of the document and into an interconnected numbering system. I have done this in word 2003 but am having a very difficult time in 2007. |

Setting up a hierarchy of numbered styles
What you want in Word is called Outline Numbering, see the very informative
article below, as well as the others sections on the same website. The article may be for 2003 but the process is essentially the same for 2007. http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/numb...Numbering.html Also see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Numbering.htm for more information. Hope this helps DeanH "Jeff" wrote: I am having a difficult time finding a "how to" guide for setting up a numbering styled template in word 2007.

Setting up a hierarchy of numbered styles
The options for numbering isn't that different in Word 2007, but there might
be a problem finding the correct dialog box. :-( To edit an outline-numbered list from an older version of Word, place the insertion point in the first level 1 paragraph of the list, which means the first Heading 1 paragraph of the document if this is heading numbering. Then click Home tab Home tab | Multilevel List | Define New Multilevel List. You are presented with a dialog box similar to the Customize Outline Numbered List dialog of Word 97-2003 (note that you may have to click More to see all options). Here you can specify all the options that you want , and you can link each numbering level to a paragraph style (which is still recommended, by the way). When creating a new list in Word 2007, you can use the same steps as above. Alternatively, you can set up a list style, via Home tab | Multilevel List | Define New List Style. Type a name for your list style. To see all options for the list, click Format, Numbering. The advantage of using a list style is that it can be easily modified via the Manage Styles dialog box, as you can modify any style in Word 2007. You should still apply numbering to text by applying the appropriate paragraph style, though. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Jeff" Jeff @discussions.microsoft.com wrote in message ...
