MS Office Forum / Word / Numbering / July 2007List Numbering: How to Get Level One to Appear As 1.1?
Hey All, In List Styles, or any number style for that matter, we've all seen the following: 1. Some Title 1.1 Some Title 1.1.1 Some Title ... and so on. What I'd like to know, is how to get the first level of a list to look something like this: 1.1 Some Title or, perhaps better said: How can I get the number formatting to allow me to have second and third level incrementations via customization? I see the field codes but I can't seem to copy and paste them or change them in any manner. Any advice? Thanks, TC Where would the first 1 come from?

What I am asking, if based on the link, is that my "Heading 1" numbers look like those in from the "Heading 2" example. Can this be done? If so, how? Regards, TC > Where would the first 1 come from?

And I am asking you, if you want 1.1 in Level 1, where does the other number come from? SignatureSuzanne S.

Are you asking me why I need to start with a sublevel like that? It's actually not my request but, rather, those I work for ;-) If you're asking me, from a technical perspective, where the number comes from, I am not sure. Ideally, I wish that I could have a numbered style that would increment 1.1, 1.2, etc. whereby I could also set the starting top level number (i.e. 3.1, 3.2, etc.). -- TC > In the example the first 1 represents Level 1 and the second represents > Level 2.

What causes the first number to increment? If the problem is that there is a higher-level style that is not numbered, then this can be worked around by making it Level 1, formatting its number as Hidden (followed by "Nothing"), and then using the Level 1 and Level 2 numbers in the Level 2 style, which would be the first one to display numbers. But you have to have some way to increment or restart the numbering in your first numbered level, and the only way to do that is to have a higher-level style (numbered or not) to do the job.

Hey Suzanne, that 'hidden' idea is great. Hadn't thought of that. Thanks for the help. Best, TC > Well, I still don't understand how they're incrementing, then.
