Hi,
I am working with a long doc broken into different docs for each chapter.
This is fine but for some reason there seems to be a link between ch 1 & 4 -
when I set the numbering to start at 1 for chapter 1, chapter 4 takes on the
chapter 1 numbering. WHen I set ch 4 numbering to ch 4, chapter 1 sets all
heading levels used to start with 4. This doesn't happen in any of the other
chapter docs. I can't work out why this is happening, does anyone have any
ideas?

many thanks

If the "Start at" option for a numbering scheme changes, the reason
could be that the option to "Automatically update document styles" is
checked in Tools>Templates and Add-Ins. For two *documents* to be
linked, however, some extra steps are required: Are you adding style
changes to the template? Are the two documents using the same
template?

More things to consider: Are you putting the various files together in
some way? How? If you are using a master document, some sort of
corruption could be the problem. For more about this, see:
