Good Morning,

I am using Word 2000 with Windows 2000. I am creating a document that needs
to have the following layout in the numbering.  Can anyone explain to me how
to get the letter incorporated in the headings?

3.1         MODULE 3 TABLE OF CONTENTS

3.2         BODY OF DATA

3.2. S     DRUG SUBSTANCE

3.2. S. 1     General Information

3.2. S. 1.1    Nomenclature

Thank you for your time and assistance.

Hi Ynez

Is 'S' a variable letter (indicating the drug substance, perhaps), or is it
an alphabetic sequence number (A, B ...)  or is it always S? In the last two
cases, this structure can be achieved by setting up numbering for Headings
1 - 5 following the instructions in

http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/numbering/OutlineNumbering.html

If however 'S' is a variable letter specific to the drug, then the problem
is how to set the letter. It would be possible to do this by using Format >
Bullets and Numbering at the 3.2.S level (Heading 3), to change the 'start'
letter at that point. But this approach is very limited (and dangerous)  if
you need to copy and paste material between sections. Unless you are very
clued in to exactly how numbering and lists work, I think this is almost
bound to end in tears!
