Numbered Outlining Aurora 04.07.2006 12:55:02 I am using Word 2003 I have never been good at using Word's outlining, but I am determined to figure it out. I have been customizing the one of the outline defaults. The one that looks like this. 1. ajdfkdj 1.1 ajdldjfljd 1.1.1 adjaljdflakdjf 1.1.2 ajdajlkajdfklasj etc. I have attached all of the outline levels to headings. But the one problem I am running into is that it is not increasing the numbers - Above Ex: 1.1.1 is the first line and 1.1.2 should be the seconding line. I am getting 1.1.1 again on the 2nd, 3rd line etc. This appears to be happening at all levels. Does anyone have any ideas as to what is causing this? I really need to know how to outline with numbers correctly. Please help if you can. Aurora

Re: Numbered Outlining "Stefan Blom" <no.spam[ at ]please.xyz> 04.07.2006 13:06:39 In the Customize Outline Numbered List dialog box, does the third-level number appear with a grey shading? If not, it has been typed in, which explains why it won't increment. Make sure to replace it by selecting the desired format from the "Number style" box. Since, in the "Number format" box, you cannot tell the difference between a previous level number and the current one, you may have to clear and recreate the entire contents of that box.

Re: Numbered Outlining Aurora 04.07.2006 15:58:02 Thank you for your help - your advice did help me but now I have another but similar problem. The outline work fine at first - meaning all levels are good and numbered correctly then all of a sudden level 3 is not numbering correctly. For ex: 1. x 1.1 xx 1.1.1 xxx 2 x 2.1 xx 2.1.1 xxx 4.1.1.2 xxx The fourth level does not follow the numbering sequence. I check the numbering in Heading 1 for all of the levels and they all seem to be OK. Do you have any ideas. Second question: I followed Shauna Kelly's artice on setting up the outline in the header style. Per her instructions I gave the outline a name (name 1). When I went back to make corrections I tried to give it the same name but was told I had to give it a new name (name2). How do I tell Word that I want "name 2 outline"?

Re: Numbered Outlining "Suzanne S. Barnhill" <sbarnhill[ at ]mvps.org> 04.07.2006 16:07:16 If you always return to the Numbering dialog through Heading 1 and always choose the pane that is already selected, you should always return to the named list template you created. Make sure that Heading 4 (or whatever style you have linked to Level 4) is correctly set up, that the first number shown in the "Number format" box is a shaded 1, and that "Restart numbering after" is set to Level 3. -- Suzanne S.
