Default Multilevel List numbering

Hi, you can do what you want.

I attach an image showing you how to link a paragraph multilevel list style to the same numbering but it does not appear in your TOC in this instance there is no bold it is just 1.1 [tab] This is a multilevel list style (assign a shortcut key) it is not part of the Multilevel List it is linked to the Multilevel List. This feature was added in Word 2007. If you use alphabetic for your style list and show only recommended and it is set up properly your new multilevel linked style will sit under Heading 2. Call it Heading 2_NO TOC.

1. Governing interests
This is the body text para following.
1.1 Possible interests heading - this is the bold heading with format not the other way around
1.1 Heading 2_NO TOC is just body text with auto numbering of Heading 2 if you use it.
1.1.1 Classes of interest
This is the body text paragraph following this heading level 3.
Proceed with the rest of your list.

2. Governing interests
This is the body text para following.
2.1 Possible interests heading - this is the bold heading with format not the other way around
2.1 Heading 2_NO TOC is just body text with auto numbering of Heading 2. If you do not require the bold Heading 2 use the Heading 2_NO TOC heading.
2.1.1 Classes of interest
This is the body text paragraph following this heading level 3.

Proceed with the rest of your list.

My image attached may confuse you. The attached image is using the linked multilevel style to insert a run-in heading in a TOC if used. Usually the main Heading style in this instance Heading 2 would contain the Bold and whatever attributes it has. Then the linked paragraph and character style Heading 2_NO TOC would only use the next auto number in Heading 2 level and you would remove the attributes you don't require or insert the attributes you do require.

Just create the New Style: Heading 2_NO TOC
Style Type: Linked (paragraph and character)
Style Based On: Heading 2
Style for following paragraph: Heading 2

Obviously is you want it in reverse - as in this will be the TOC style and not the default Heading 2 style in your multilevel 2 list:

Just create the New Style: Heading 2_TOC
Style Type: Linked (paragraph and character)
Style Based On: Heading 2
Style for following paragraph: Heading 2

So you use Heading 2 style level in multilevel list (Alt 2 shortcut say) or
Heading 2_NO TOC (Give it a shortcut key). But not both.

The rest of your multilevel list styles will behave as usual.

If Heading 2_NO TOC or Heading 2_TOC are to be included in your TOC then you have to use named Heading Styles to generate your TOC - see image.
