Hi everyone,

I am trying to format my numbered headings.

The yellow highlighted numbers should be 2.1, 2.1.1, 2.1.2, 2.1.2.1 and so on.



How do I go about fixing this?

I have tried Shauna Kelly's guide but this doesn't seem to assist.

Thank you

Tom

Thanks Charles and Stefan. All sorted.

Did you make sure to use the built-in headings for your numbers? If you click in the first Heading 1 paragraph of the document and then click Home tab | Multilevel List | Define New Multilevel List, you can verify that the settings are correct.

For assistance with the various options, Shauna Kelly's article is an excellent resource.
