Changing Outline Numbering Format
I'm using Word 2003 to modify and maintain a large (500+ pages)
document. I've already reformatted the document to use styles almost entirely (almost done), but have been asked to change the styles of the outline numbering format. I read most of the recommended FAQ entries a while back and while I believe this reformat won't be too difficult, I want to make sure I do this correctly. The outline numbered option current chosen (Article 1, Chapter 1.11, Section 1.1.1, 1.1.1.1, 1.1.1.1.1, ..., 1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1) needs to change to (Article 1, Chapter A, Section 1, A, i, etc.) as well as various paragraph/font changes. - Should I change the Outline Numbered option (Format - Bullets & Numbering - Outline Numbered) or just modify the currently selected outline numbered selection? If just modify, I modify the numbering scheme using the Bullets & Numbering menu and modify the paragraph/font style using Heading 1, etc., correct? - Right now I'm just using Normal.dot, I believe. I think I should be using a custom template, and, if so, would creating a new template that redefines all the used styles be a quicker solution to reformatting? - Would doing things in a specific order be helpful? Modify the NORMAL style first, then the others? Maybe this won't be too hard, but I'm just afraid of starting and then realizing that I messed something up royally... Thanks! - Keith |
