About titles and numbering
Thank you very much for the quick response. Please excuse me for not adding
the version I use. It's Word 2007. I visited the site you gave me, but it appears that this is for earlier versions only. I know how to do the numbering in word 2003, but I just cannot get it to work in Word 2007... So the problem is not solved yet... I'd be glad if anyone could help me out.

Hello, I want to number my titles automatically, like this: 1. Heading1 1.1. Heading2 1.1.1. Heading3 2. Heading1 2.1. Heading2 ... The problem is, the numbering always resets when I try to do it: 1. Heading1 2. Heading2 3. Heading3 4. Heading1 ... Can anyone help me with this? I need some tips very urgently, bacause my paper has to be finished by tomorrow Thank you very much, Daniel |

About titles and numbering
In Word 2007, you can do this to quickly set up the number format that you
want: On the Home tab of the ribbon, click Multilevel List, and then click the predefined "1 Heading 1, 1.1 Heading 2, 1.1.1 Heading 3" number format found under "List Library." This will apply numbering to the built-in headings. Of course, since you want a trailing period you will also have to modify the numbering: With the insertion point in the first Heading 1 paragraph of the document, click Home tab | Multilevel List | Define New Multilevel List. Word displays a dialog box similar to the Customize Outline Numbered List dialog of previous versions; use it to customize the numbering. In this case, you should type a period after the numbers (in the "Enter formatting for number" box) for each level. Note that any outline-numbered list created via the "List Library" (or via Home tab | Multilevel List | Define New Multilevel List) must be modified via Home tab | Multilevel List | Define New Multilevel List; this also applies to most lists created in older versions of Word. The alternative in Word 2007 is to make use of list styles (which were supported in Word 2003, but the advantage to using them was less apparent). To create a list style, click Home tab | Multilevel List | Define New List Style. Give the list style a name. To attach paragraph styles and set the properties of the list, click the Format button, and then click Numbering. Once created, a list style appears at Home tab | Multilevel List, under the "List Styles" heading. You can easily modify a list style by right-clicking it and choosing Modify from the context menu; this takes you directly to the Modify Style dialog box. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Daniel" wrote in message ...
