Default Writing a report in Word 2007

Hi,

I'm am to write a report for my company and want to know how I should set it up so it works with numbered headings following each other and so I can make a numbered table of contents.

What I want to know is if I should write everything first and then do the set up or if I do set up as I write?



I am so frustrated with chapter numbers who don't follow in order, indents who move or doesn't move or just jump round...

Thank you!

The article at http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/numb...g20072010.html explains how to set up heading numbering in Word. If you use the built-in headings (as exemplified in the article), you can then easily set up a TOC; see http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/numb...fcontents.html.
