I must admit I thought that wouldn't work because in the outline numbering dialogue box you can only associate one style with each numbering level. Should have tried it first... It does seem to work OK when the new style is derived from the heading 2 style.



I still think this is a bit fiddly but it does the job!

Thanks,

Tim

Yes, in a "child" style, you can "copy" an outline number from a "parent" (based-on) style, as long as you don't try to modify the numbering in the "child."
