"previous level number" - Microsoft Word
I am trying to understand the function of the "previous level number"
dropdown box in "Customize Outline Numbered List" (arrived at by selecting "Customize" when formating a list style in format bullets and numbering. I haven't been able to find any help documentation. Can anyone help? |

It's used when building hierarchical numbers - formats such as m.n.p.q. The
last number in this (q) is the automatic number for this level, p is inherited from the level above, q the current number of the level above that and so on. When you select a level from the dropdown, the number for that level is added to the overall pattern. While learning/experimenting it's easiest to see if you use a different number format at each level.
