Hello All,




I think I have accidentally edited one of the default style ( numbe 4 to be precise).


This is the default one






and this is the document which I need to edit






In the default style, numbers are give to each paragrapgh when I select the style. Now all info are missing.



Thanks as always.

In the document where the formatting is incorrect, apply the Heading 1 style to a text paragraph, click in that paragraph and then click Home | Multilevel List | Define New Multilevel List. Specify the desired number format for each of the nine levels and re-associate the heading styles as needed (see also https://shaunakelly.com/word/numberi...10.html?p=1768).

See and follow the instructions here:
How to create numbered headings or outline numbering in Ribbon Versions of Word by Shauna Kelly

this thing about numbering gave me problem already in the past.


thanks to both of you, I have tried following your tutorail and guide but once I change the numbering of one paragraph, the numbering of all documents are messed up!!!.


I have solved in a more "manual way".
I select the heading I want to editi, end actually deleted manually the numbering, and typed manually the new numbering I want to assign. Word in auto create new correct numbering. It seems to work. At least I need to change few sections.


Thanks as always.

Note that the "manual way" is exactly that: manual. It is very likely that future edits will break the numbering again.

As a long-term solution, you really should set up numbering properly. Once it has been completed, you can save the document as a template for easy reuse.

Indeed you are right. I am using this temporary solution beacause I need to change only few paragraphs. For future documents I will keep using the default system of numbering.


Thank you for your time and help.
