Hi to all,

seems strange, but sometime you really need more heading levels then Word's suggested 9.



According to the instruction found under http://windowssecrets.com/forums/sho...9-in-Word-2007 I created level 10 and 11 - works fine.

But now my questing: Is there any possibility to assign a TOC level higher then 9? As such long headings are quite confusing, it would be nice to have an extra format for these two levels in TOC - not in the document. Right now, I assign level 9 also to headings 10 and 11 for creating TOC and thus the three levels have the same 'look and feel' (in TOC). I mean not a handish 'quick and dirty formatting', but a solution that outlasts TOC updating .

If there is a way, please let me know which one, it not, please also let me know as - then - I can stop bothering ...

THANKS

Just how are you helping your readers by taking heading levels up to 11? John McGhie, MVP and guru for all things numbering-related, firmly suggests – as far as I remember; can't find the reference immediately – you should stop and think once you get past four …

When headings re-appear in the ToC, they are displayed using the ToC styles. Generate your ToC, find a level {whatever} entry and update its ToC style to give the visual results you want.

Agreed! Most writing standards suggest the same (or, don't go beyond four).

First of all - thanks ...

I know, I know, but some legal issues require a strange excessive numbering.

I think the term you may be looking for is cruel and unusual :-}
