Numbering - Restarting numbering under different sections
Hi,
I am new to Word 2007 and am looking for a little be of help. hopefully someone knows the answer. I am creating a document with various headings. Having set-up my styles I have now encoutered a problem. I have various sections and the numbering is ok for Section A, however, when I reach Section B although the main heading is ok "2 SECTION B" (the numbering following from the main heading of SECTION A), the main body numbering follows of from Section A and does not restart. See example below At the present the document looks like this: 1 SECTION A Background Knowledge 1.1 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 1.2 yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy Following On 1.3 zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz 2 SECTION B Background Knowledge 1.4 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 1.5 yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy Following On 1.6 zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz However, under Section B I need to restart the number as follows: 1 SECTION A Background Knowledge 1.1 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 1.2 yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy Next Steps 1.3 zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz 2 SECTION B Background Knowledge 2.1 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 2.2 yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy Next Steps 2.3 zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. |

Numbering - Restarting numbering under different sections
You must set up the numbering of your sections and subsections as part of
the same multilevel list. For general principles, see http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/numb...Numbering.html. The main difference in Word 2007 is that you cannot change the numbering directly from the Style dialog; instead, you must use Define New Multilevel List and make sure that the levels are linked to the appropriate styles. Start with the List Library item that shows 1 Heading 1, 1.1 Heading 2, and so on. In the Define New Multilevel List dialog, change the number style of Level 1 to A, B, C. In the box that says "Enter formatting for number," type Section and a space before A. This will make your Level 2 numbering be A.1. Select Level 2, click More to expand the dialog, and check the box for "Legal style numbering," which will change it to 1.1. Do the same for any lower levels you will be using. If you have not previously used the heading styles for your headings, you will need to apply them to get this outline numbering. You can modify the paragraph and font formatting of the styles (aside from any indents, which must be set in the Multilevel List dialog) in the Modify Style dialog. -- Suzanne S.
