Outline Numbering
I'm trying to outline number a report and have followed the guidance on
Shauna Kelly's page. However, my numbering is back to front - so it goes: 1 1.1 1.1.1 1.2 2.1.1 Instead of 1.2 and 1.2.1. When I go into 'level 2' numbering, I can't link this to the previous level - it selects it, then unselects it by itself. If I clear level 2 and start again by selecting 'number style 1,2,3' then choose 'previous level number - 1' it puts the numbers together (11) and unselects the link to the previous level. And when I put a 'period' in it seems to swap the numbers over (so it ends up with 2.1 instead of 1.2). Help please! |

Outline Numbering
When numbers get reversed this way, the best solution is to start over, but
you're doing it backward. Insert the previous levels, one at a time, in order, inserting the punctuation yourself by hand. The last number is the one for the current level, and that's the one for which you choose the number style (1,2,3); you don't have to choose the number style for the previous levels because Word automatically uses the style used for that level (unless you check the "Legal style numbering" box to convert from roman to arabic numerals). -- Suzanne S.

Outline Numbering
It is all to easy to get the fields turned around. I recently found this way
to help keep things straight: Temporarily set the start at value for each level to the level value (level 2 starts at 2, etc.). When you insert the previous levels, you'll immediately see that the order is correct. Be sure to set the start at's back to 1 before you exit the dialog. Pam Suzanne S.
