MS Office Forum / Word / Numbering / May 2009How add un-numbered Heading1 in doc., w/out un-numbering the rest?
Hi, I have Word 2003, and have been able to do the following in another document, but can't reproduce it now. I want to add a Heading1 to a section, but leave it un-numbered, as it's not really part of the outline. But when I make it un-numbered, it "tends" to un-number all other Heading1's. But somehow I was able to fudge it by toggling it back and forth, at one point. The whole point of this is to make this un-numbered section show up in the ToC! Is there any hope of this? Thanks... Mark H. Create an unnumbered heading style that is formatted the same as your numbered heading but not based on it. Give it the same outline level as the numbered heading, and it will automatically appear in the TOC at that level. For example, when I have numbered chapter titles, I have a duplicate (but unnumbered) Front Matter Head style that is used for the Preface and other front matter, plus a TOC Head that is identical except for having an outline level of Body Text so that it *doesn't* appear in the TOC.

Well, it involves messing w/ Styles, and whenever I do that, all hell breaks loose. And I can't afford to do this now, as we get our document deliverable out... But will play w/ it when I get extra time later... Thx! :-) > What part of it is too ambitious? If you need further help, we stand ready! > [quoted text clipped - 34 lines] > >> > > >> > Mark H. Hi again, Suzanne, I thought I'd tell you a shortcut to what I wanted to achieve here, for what it's worth. I happend to notice that I had checked the "automatically update" box under the Heading1 style. And remembering somewhere reading that you usually NEVER want to do that, I decided to UNcheck it, and see if I could so what i wanted, and sure enough, it worked! I created a Heading1, un-numbered, and yet the rest of my Heading1's remained numbered! I re-generated the ToC and it worked just fine! Maybe this is cheating, but it saved me a lot of time -- and it worked! :-) Thanks again! Mark H. > What part of it is too ambitious?

Glad you got this working, Ms Barnhill is very helpful :-). Anyway back to your problem, there is an toolbar button in Word called Skip Numbering which will do what you want. This toolbar button not only un-numbers an individual paragraph but will also un-bullet an individual bullet item. This toolbar button can be found via Toolbar Customize, Commands tab, All Commands category, SkipNumbering. This button can be dragged to your toolbar for future use. Be aware that any sub-section numbers will reflect the change, ie go down one number. This attribute can be reversed by applying the style again. Automatically Update is a good feature and can save a lot of time when reformatting, but usually it causes users more problems than benefits (if you look back on previous postings). Hope this helps you in the future. DeanH > Hi again, Suzanne, > [quoted text clipped - 50 lines] > > >> > > > >> > Mark H. Thanks, Dean!

I find it extremely odd that MS have hidden this very useful tool so deep. I use it very frequently, I have even had a play and made an icon image for it :-) All the best DeanH > Thanks, Dean!
