You could increase the gap (indentation, special) a little between the numbers and the heading text so that 1.10 looks better (changing the style of the heading) - or you could of course control the numbers yourself!

Thank you for the answer AlteDane,

1. this numbering comes from heading2 as shwon in the attachment

2. the gap should represent the gap between the heading number and heading text...!!! but it doesn't sound like this...!!!! since the gab between the 1.9 and text is not the same as the gap between the 1.10 and text

3. if i increase the distance in the heading 2 style, then the gap will increase in all headings which make the gap between 1.9 and text is a bit much more than i need...!!!!

my question:
how to make the gap between the number and the text the same in case of 1.9 and 1.10????

regards

Hi again,
I was thinking of a compromise: Too much for 1.9, too little for 1.10.
But you may derive a new style, say heading2a, based on heading2. Let heading2a have a larger hanging value and use heading2a for 1.10 and the following headings.

thank you for your prompt answers AlteDäne,

I'm wondering why Word makes our life harder!!!!!! I'm really totally confused of the "space behavior" of Word...! It's uncontrollable!!!! more headings for the same "level" just to control the space!!!!!! weird!!!!

I'm attaching again an unjustified empty space knowing that the former and the later paragraphs have "0" space before and after!!!!!!

How can you explain this?

regards

Jamal
