Numbering Outline Again Aurora 05.07.2006 12:16:02 I am using Word 2003 Thank you Syzanne for your suggestion. I did check my Heading 1 numbering and everything appears to be correct. All the numbers are shaded, they all say they follow the previous level and the headings are correct. But I am still having a numbering problem beginning with level 3 - See my Example: 1. 2. 1.1 2.1 1.2 1.2.1 1.3 1.2.2 3.1.1 2.2.1.1 3.1.2 2.2.1.2 3.1.3 2.2.1.2.2 3.1.3.1 Do you or anyone else have any other suggestions as to what may be wrong? I am getting very fustrated. Aurora

Re: Numbering Outline Again "Suzanne S. Barnhill" <sbarnhill[ at ]mvps.org> 05.07.2006 15:15:46 You've got the fields for Levels 1 and 2 reversed in the Level 3 "number format." Clear that whole box for Level 3 (just select everything and press Delete) and start from scratch. When the box is empty, click on the arrow beside "Previous level number" and choose Level 1. This will insert a gray 1. Type a period. Then insert Level 2 and a period. Then change the "Number style" from "(none)" to "1, 2, 3 ..." This should put you right. -- Suzanne S.
