MS Office Forum / Word / Numbering / December 2006Tricky (?) headline/paragraph numbering problem
Hi! I have a problem with numbering headings and following paragraphs that I wonder if it's possible to solve. a) I have a couple of headings like this: 1 Heading 1 bla bla 1.1 Heading 2 bla bla 1.1.1 Heading 3 bla bla 2 Heading 1 bla bla 2.1 Heading 2 bla bla 2.1.1 Heading 3 bla bla This works fine, no problem. b) Now I also want numbered paragraphs related to the headings like this: 1 Heading 1 bla bla 1.1 Paragrah 2 bla bla 1.1.1 Paragrah 3 bla bla This also works fine. c) The problem is though if I now insert another heading, it links to the previous paragraph instead of the heading. 1 Heading 1 bla bla 1.1 Paragrah 2 bla bla 1.1.1 Paragrah 3 bla bla 1.2 Heading 2 bla bla <------------Wrong! Should be 1.1 (ie related to the previous heading, not the previous paragraph). The paragraphs should be linked to the headings but not the opposite so to say. I don't know how to do this if possible? Any ideas? Best /e Hi Eric, Looks to me like it's working like it should! Since you've already got one Heading2 numbered 1.1, the next one must be 1.2, unless you put a new Heading1 in between, in which case the Heading2 number would be 2.1. If you're trying to 'resume' paragraph 1.1, then you'll want to use an *un-numbered* style formatted to look like your Heading2 paragraph from the 2nd line on. Cheers  Signaturemacropod [MVP - Microsoft Word] > Hi! > [quoted text clipped - 37 lines] > Best > /e Hi Macro, Thanks for your answer. Not sure I follow though. Let's say I have this: 1 Heading 1 bla bla 1.1 Paragrah 2 bla bla 1.1.1 Paragrah 3 bla bla 1.2 Heading 2 bla bla <------------Wrong! Should be 1.1 (ie related to the previous heading, not the previous paragraph). Here the heading links to the paragraph 1.1 instead of the heading (or something like that, but it's wrong anyhow...:/). I want headings to link to previous headings instead of paragraphs like it is now. Or am I missing something? /e > Hi Eric, > [quoted text clipped - 54 lines] >> Best >> /e Any non-heading paragraphs that are part of the same list as the headings, will (a) continue the numbering from a previous heading (at the same level) and (b) determine the next number of a following heading (at the same level). You can't have (a) without (b), or vice versa. Of course, nothing prevents you from setting up numbering separately on the "ordinary" paragraphs that should have it, but then they will be different lists. If this is what you want, just create the numbering as you did (or should have) for headings; see http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/numbering/OutlineNumbering.html. If you want to keep all the paragraphs as a single list but control the restarts, you could insert multiple LISTNUM fields to set a starting number as desired (see http://word.mvps.org/faqs/numbering/ListRestartByLISTNUM.htm). Note, however, that this could be very difficult to maintain. Depending on the complexity of the document, you might find it easier to just type numbers from the keyboard.

Clarification: Of course, this assumes that the non-heading paragraph style is *based* on the heading; that's the only way they could "share" the same numbering level.
