General Document Layout

[jermaindefoe]

Hi,

In my document i have numerous sub headings but to generate my contents page I only wanted the main headings to be present. That meant only being able to use 'Heading 1'. If all my sub headings used Heading 2, 3, 4 then my contents became massivley over complicated. I manually set the sub headings to normal last night which solved this but now i need to change each one individually again, any advice on this?

Also, i had already written my document before i realised i needed to add numbers. For example all my Heading 1 represent a full number then the sub sections inside represent then next one. I wanted to end up with something like

1
1.1
1.1.1
1.1.2
1.2
1.3
1.3.1
2
2.1
2.1.1.1
2.1.1.2
2.1.2


2.2
2.3
...

is this possible now the document has already been written and seeing as i am only using heading ones now?

thanks
