Hmmm...  Not easy.

As you have discovered, you can add a prefix to each level of an Outline
numbered list, and attach that List Template to a set of styles, using
Modify Style...

However, you want to both add a prefix and use an edit code for the second
level.  I think you need to abandon Outline numbering for Field-based
numbering.

You can then use a combination of a {DocProperty} field to bring in your
prefix and SEQ fields to do your numbering.  You can look both of these up
in the Word 2003 Help.

To produce your leading zeros you need a Numeric Picture switch.  You can
look that up in the help also.    The help for the SEQ field refers to
ListNum fields: these are "usually" a better alternative, but you can't use
them because they won't take a Numeric Picture switch.

For example {DOCPROPERTY Source}.{SEQ MyList \# 000 }: will print Doc1.0001:
provided that the document property Source is set to "Doc1".

Again, look up Document Properties in the Help.

There are several "considerations" to this approach.

The first is that this is advance Word use.  Fine if it's YOU doing it, but
I would not have much hope of teaching corporate office workers to do it
reliably.

Secondly:  SEQ fields do not update automatically: you have to select all
text and manually update fields with F9 to get them to update.

And third: constructing outline numbering using SEQ fields is complex.

You need a different SEQ "identifier" for each level of your outline.  You
can use the "\s" list to reset the list at the occurrence of the heading
level above it, or the "\r" switch to reset it yourself.  When you get the
set constructed, save each level as an autotext so you can re-use them.

Get back to us if you need a specific example.

Hope this helps
