Numbering Outline #3 Aurora 05.07.2006 18:34:02 I am using Word 2003 Thank you both for your help. I did try to follow the article that Charles pointed me to. I have the outline set up the way I want it, but am still having problems with the numbering. Per Suzanne, I went back to check the "Previous Level number" (PLN) box. On each level I checked the previous level in that box. But nothing shows up in the box after I have picked a level. For example, for level 3, I opened the "PLN" box. There was a list - Level 1 and level 2 I chose (clicked on) level 2. But when I left the box level 2 does not show up in the box. Is it suppose to? I tried one click and two clicks but nothing show up. Any other ideas? Aurora

Re: Numbering Outline #3 "Charles Kenyon" <wordfaq[ at ]nospam.addbalance.com> 05.07.2006 19:43:00 I am not the expert on this. My recollection is that all editing of the list template is done from the Modify Style dialog for the level one style. This includes editing of the template to be applied by level two-nine styles. If you start editing directly you break the linkages. Again, this is my recollection and I could be way off. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/ which is awesome!

Re: Numbering Outline #3 "Suzanne S. Barnhill" <sbarnhill[ at ]mvps.org> 05.07.2006 22:04:21 You need to follow the steps I outlined exactly as I stated them. Be aware that nothing will ever show in that box, but if you have done this correctly, the numbers will be correct. -- Suzanne S.
