Numbered headings not working as expected after customising headings
I customised the headings to make the relationship between them clearer (some of the defaults were hard to tell which was a heading which was a subheading).
I now want the headings to be numbered in the relationship: 1. Heading 1.1 Subheading 1.1.1 Subsubheading When I follow the instructions here: https://support.office.com/en-gb/art...ad=GB&fromAR=1 it affects only the first heading and none of those below it: Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks. Last edited by Charles Kenyon; 03-03-2017 at 07:49 AM. Reason: Mark as solved |

Here are a couple more links that should help you:

Your headings should be set up following (all of) the directions given in the first link posted by JimP.

Thanks for your responses. They've pretty much covered everything but one thing. I've underlined it in the following screenshot - the gap between 1.1.2.1 and I-Sce is too small for my liking and I can't find a setting that controls that distance.

That distance is controlled by the tab settings in the style and the indent set in the numbering. Note that if your first number were 1.1.2.12 chances are there would be a much bigger break and it would be lined up above Architecture.

Thanks, Charles. I set 'text position for first level' to 2 cm (after clicking 'set for all levels') and I think the result is okay.
