![]() Extactly Charles Kenyon! One of my Chapters has multiple lists in it. There is no way to delete lists in Word? right Just for clarification - I'm not suing a numbering in the Headings, I'm using Words built in multilist that I have attached to the List paragraph style. I want that list to restart at 1, whenever a heading style is used. In the past we have done the numbering of the heading and it was a lot. We moved to a simplier approach. Some of my document has this working some of it doesn't. I was going to start a fresh document, but I can't seem to be able to get this retart list going. I know i'm close but may not be asking the right question. |

You do not need to be using the built-in heading styles. The out-of-the box lists should not be used in any complex document. The technical term for this: "Spaghetti Numbering." |

Thanks @Charles Kenyon and @Italophile
After much analysis! I'm still in the same place! Stuck with a number of documents with the potential of "Spaghetti Numbering" Background: I used Shuna's instructions almost 10 years ago. We set up Headings and numberings that looked amazing in my companies requirement documents. The problem was that we had to many levels. So if you had a requiremeent that was 5 levels in it would look like this 1.1.1.1.1. Text, the amount of real estate that it used up was overwhelming. We decedied to abandon that formatting for a much simple approach and my users have have very happy! Today We use Heading 1, 2, 3, 5 they are used to seperate Chapters and Sections, its very straight forward. In side each heading we use the built in List Paragraph, (we did this to keep it simple). It's been working pretty well. The number one gripe I get is that, why doens't it automatically restart numbering after a heading style? But after much reading and your advice. I've concluded that restarting built in List numbering after a Heading is not possbile. There is no way to create a style that would do this (at least that's what I think). If someone has any idea please give me clue! Happy Documenting Everyone! |
