Directory Share. Word: List Levels and Multilevel List. You can find a working sample here. Also just worked out how to exclude the non numbered heading styles from the TOC, happy days!
Now just need to save these to a template for re-use, think I probably need a course, know any good ones? Yes, if you want more like this the Word Mastery course is the place to go. You have 4 levels of numbering. You need to utilise 5 styles and create 5 levels of numbering, one of which will be hidden. I have uploaded a sample document if you want to refer to it that has the following number structure:.
Once the setup is complete, click on a line or paragraph that you want to number and click the following style in the styles gallery or styles pane:. I have numbered list problem that seems to be a hard one. I have a normal 4 Levels numbered list.
Occasionally within the Levels, I have sub-lists with abc, or bulleted. I tried several ways without luck. I have the issue discussed at the MS Office forum. Great question Sajit. I have uploaded a sample document if you want to refer to it. For example, you can create a 4-level multilevel list that looks like this with single-level lists interspersed at any level.
All the numbering restarts and continues as it should:. There are only 9 heading styles, and they are convenient to use because they are built-in, but you can also create as many of your own styles as you need and link any number level to any style.
Click the More button so you have the expanded dialog open. Then …. Set positioning as appropriate. Type a dot. Type a dot or a bracket after the number if you want. Even though they are called Heading styles, you can use them for anything including normal paragraphs. By default, Word only displays the heading styles you have already applied plus the next one. For example, if you have only applied the Heading 1 and Heading 2 styles within your document, then the Heading 1, Heading 2 and Heading 3 styles will appear in the gallery.
But what if you want to apply the Heading 8 style a, b, c without yet having used the Heading 5, Heading 6 or Heading 7 style? Well, do this:. Click the launcher in the bottom-right corner of the styles gallery to display the styles pane. Click the Options button at the bottom. Choose the style you need. Thank you Jason you did. That was a great idea I made use of. Apart from the 8 levels, I also have some additional Styles, Heading 2t and Heading 3t connected to Heading 2 and Heading 3 for text headings that are a long text without boldface.
During the course of editing I or anyone else who uses the template may have to adjust the indent in a document such as when the numbering becomes in 2 digits for a level.
If I try to set it by adjusting the indent on the connected Formatting Styles. The Linked Styles break up. It is very difficult to get them connected again.
In the last instance, it will not work even after connecting them back. I had to delete off the Heading 2t and Heading 3t, recreate and then connect them back. I understand that this is a bug. Can you please help me with a few lines of VBA to circumvent this issue? Shoot me a sample to support [at] officemastery. I have an issue though The font i chose for the numbering level is working only for the number itself and not for the text that comes after the number. Any idea how to fix this?
If you have connected each numbering level to a style the best approach then by clicking the style in the gallery, the style of the numbering and the following text should be consistent. Whatever you define here determines how the number will look and not the text that follow it. For more than one, do each style separately. I have something different I think. My attorney wants Article I roman numerals as a header, then change to legal numbering in Arabic 1.
What if I do not want to use Normal Heading styles since they will be used differently? I want to create styles for the list levels. Is that no longer possible? In WordPerfect, the outline format is really easy to use. I literally open up a spec document, update the headers and footers for the specific project, make the necessary changes to the font and the outline format at the beginning of the document and it is done.
I then copy the body of another spec section and paste it into that document to create the other project specs. After viewing your video and reading your answers to all the questions which have been submitted, I am hopeful fingers crossed that I might now be able to figure out how to convert our specs to Word format. I want to retire next year and I have to figure this out!! Thank you!
