Hello,



I have set up my styles in the "normal.dot" and my outline numbering works the way it should. Never any problems with the outline numbering as such (Thanks, Shauna Kelly!).

My heading levels 1 - 5 are set up i a very simple fashion, but I also have alternative styles on all 5 levels, depending on the kind of document I create. A brief example of heading styles on level 1:

"Heading 1" (AvantGarde 14 pt Bold) (Built-in style)
"Heading 1 Serif" (Palatino LT Std 11 pt Normal) (based on Heading 1)
"Heading 1 Sans" (AvantGarde 11 pt Bold) (based on Heading 1)

If I format a paragraph in the document with "Heading 1 Serif", and I also select to start renumbering (quite common in an instruction sheet) from this paragraph onwards, then the "Heading 1 Serif" paragraph inherits the formatting (including font, size and other attributes) of the style "Heading 1", i.e. the default level 1 style. The style name also changes to "Heading 1".

How do I prevent the style "Heading 1 Serif" from inheriting the formats (style) of "Heading 1"?

Best regards,
