Hi all,



Many thanks for your attention to my last query, I think what I have learned is that to get what you want you need to start from scratch and learn it!

However, when I read other peoples posts about the following I thought that once I had started from scratch I would be able to predict what would happen when I tried... but it hasn't!

I am writing a reasonably sized report, maybe 50 pages, I have formatted it as a multilayer list so that apart from the 'normal text' it can be referenced by heading and sub heading in the format 1, 1.1., 1.1.1, 1.1.1.

Because the report is so long, at the beginning there is a summary and I want to cut and past a certain level of paragraphs, in the format x.x.x.x under an earlier sub heading than they appear in the report.

I had hoped to use the right click on the style heading to select all, copy and paste back in to the earlier part of the document, accepting that I would have to use text only, to preserve the numbering and then have to reformat for colour and tabs etc.

This is not working as if I use text only the points renumber themselves from 1.1.1.1.

Any clues good people?

Many thanks for reading.

Kind Regards, Barney.
