Question Numbering hierarchy in different levels of headlines

Good day,

I am working on a word template for reports and similar. I want to include 4 different levels of headlines (1, 1.1, 1.1.1, 1.1.1.1).

I am having trouble to get the different levels work properly together. For example I have a headline 1.1; the next headline automatically jumps to 2.1, instead of 1.2. The same kind of issue happens on all different headlines levels.



Would be very happy if someone has an idea

Thanks,

Jay

Hi Jay,

Your description suggests you didn't set the numbering to restart only after there's been a paragraph with a higher-order number (eg in 1, 1.1, 1.2, 1.2.1, 1.3, 2, 2.1, 1 & 2 are higher-orders than 1.1 & 2.1 and 1.3 is higher-order than 1.2.1)

Hi macropod,

thanks for your reply. Yes, what you are saying seems to be the reason for my issue.

Would you be able, to point out to me how I can fix it?

Thanks mate,

Regards,

Jay

Hi Jay,

If you're using Word's in-built multi-level list numbering tool (paragraph tab, 3rd item from left, with the 1, 1.1, 1.1.1, etc option), this is all automatic - you'd have to uncheck the 'Restart list after' option to stop it working.

Assuming you are using Word's in-built multi-level list numbering, you can check that the 'Restart list after' option is enabled by selecting, say a 2nd-order paragraph (eg numbered 1.2), then clicking on the multi-level list numbering icon, followed by 'define new multi-level list', then 'More'. The 'Restart list after' option should be checked and the restart level should be the previous one up the hierarchy.

If you're using Word's Heading Styles, the principles are the same - select a paragraph with, say, the Heading 2 Style then apply the steps in the previous paragraph.
