MS Office Forum / Word / Page Layout / September 2006I can't get WORD to correctly number a section as 1-1.
My problem is the same as the post on 8/9 of this year and I still can't get the numbering to work correctly. That problem was evidently resolved offline, which doesn't help me much. I tried all of the suggestions posted, but cannot find an additional section break to justify the numbering of the first section after the TOC and TOF (which are in italics) as 2. Help! Please!! Is your "section number" coming from a SECTION field? Or is it a "chapter number" derived from the numbering of one of Word's built-in heading styles? I was the one who fielded this question originally and looked at David's document. It turned out he'd used lower-level headings (Heading 5 in this case) for the titles of his TOC and TOF. When you do that, Word assumes that a higher-level heading must have preceded them, and so it advances the numbering on all the heading levels above that one. If you are using Heading 1 numbering to supply your "chapter number," check to see whether you have used a Heading 2 or lower before the first Heading 1. Instead of using unused Heading styles for the TOC and TOF heads, create a new style for them. It can be identical to your Heading 1 or Heading 2 but should not be based on it.  SignatureSuzanne S.
