Suzanne,
I followed your instruction on numbering. It makes perfect sense. The
problem I'm having is that in one occasion (so far) for Heading 3 where it
should be 3.1.4 it states 3.1.3. When I go in and look at the numbering for
the Headings everything looks fine. Any ideas on how to fix? Thanks

Make sure you have set up the numbering as described in
http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/numb...Numbering.html. The two
important points are that (1) all style changes need to be done through the
top-level style, and (2) all tabs and indents must be set in the Numbering
dialog, not Paragraph.

Hi there --

I have a very odd outline numbering problem. I have tried everything I
can
think of to fix it, and I'm at wit's end.

Here's the setup:
I created a template using a couple of different outlined numbering
"schemes." I created all of them using "styles and formatting" and have
made
sure that any changes have been made via "styles and formatting" as well.

I have a document that has several levels of "notes" --- Note, Reminder,
Caution, Warning, Timesaver, Tip. I set them up as on outlined numbered
list
with the "number style" as none and the "number format" being Note,
Reminder,
etc. (Sigh -- perhaps I shouldn't have done it that way, but at the time
it
seemed like the right thing to do....)

In the List_Num field, I used the name "notes_list"

This is how it looks level-wise:
Level 1: Number format = Note; aligned = .8; tabspace after and indent
after
= 1.2
Level 2: Number format = Reminder; aligned = .8; tabspace after and indent
after = 1.5
Level 3: Number format = Caution; aligned = .8; tabspace after and indent
after = 1.5
Level 4: Number format = Warning!; aligned = .8; tabspace after and indent
after = 1.5
Level 5: Number format = Timesaver; aligned = .8; tabspace after and
indent
after = 1.5
Level 6: Number format = Tip; aligned = .8; tabspace after and indent
after
= 1.2

I created a document based on the template and applied my styles
accordingly.

Here's the problem ....
When I open my document, my Level 2 "Reminder" is not indented
correctly --
and if I go the the "Styles and Formatting" and look only at the
"Reminder"
style, it now says that I have a left indent of .25 with a hanging ident
of
.25 and a tab at .5.

BUT..... if I go to my level 1 style of Note, choose to modify it, and go
to
"numbering" and "customize", the level 2 Reminder is still set to the left
alignment and tab space/indents as it was set up in the .dot (left indent
of
.8; tabsapce/ident after 1.2).

If I cycle through all the levels there, and the OK back out to my
document
--- the Reminder is now indented correctly.

BUT .... if I save and close the document and then re-open it, the problem
appears again!!

AAAARRRGHHHH!

Any help or words of wisdom??

Thanks so much.
