InfoPath 2003...I want to create an outline format using repeating
sections...see below for an example:

(1). Text
(2). Text
a. text
b. text
i. text
ii. text
c. text
(3). text

I have searched high and low, and have spent literally days playing
with this to no avail....One of the biggest challenges I have is
continueing the letters within the same master level once I have
inserted a level three (make sense???)

PLEASE HELP!!!!

Have you tried using a Recursive Repeating Section control? This control will
require a change in your schema, but it allows you to nest levels arbitrarily
deeply.

If changing the schema is not an option, then you'll need to use an XPath
expression that finds the preceding node at the current level to determine
the previous letter used.

David...thanks for the respone...I have tried the recursive section but
I don't fully get it. I have done some initial searches on it, but
haven't seen any really good documentation on it. Do you know of
any???
