WD: Multilevel/Heading Numbering Text Applied to All Levels
ID: Q176712
|
The information in this article applies to:
-
Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c
-
Microsoft Word for Windows 95, versions 7.0, 7.0a
-
Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, versions 6.0, 6.0.1, 6.0.1a
SYMPTOMS
When you modify a multilevel or heading numbering scheme, the "Text Before"
and "Text After" is applied to the current and all lower numbering levels.
NOTE: This problem occurs when the "Include from Previous Level" option is
set to either "Numbers" or "Numbers and Position."
WORKAROUND
Do not use either Multilevel or Heading Numbering in your document.
Instead, type your text and insert either an AUTONUMLGL or AUTONUMOUT field
where you want a number to appear.
To correctly use either the AUTONUMLGL or AUTONUMOUT fields, your text must
be formatted with a heading style.
When you use AUTONUMLGL fields, the numbers applied will be Arabic. For
example, your numbers will be 1, 2, 3, and so on.
When you use AUTONUMOUT fields, the numbers applied will be in roman
numerals. For example, your numbers will be I, II, III, and so on.
To create the following numbering scheme, type the text and apply the
appropriate heading style, and then insert the AUTONUMLGL field where you
want a number to appear.
Chapter 1. Mercury
Section 1.1. Temperatures on the surface
Section 1.2. Distances to the Sun & planets
1.2.1 Sun
The distance to the Sun is
1.2.2 Venus
The distance to Venus is
The following shows the style applied to each line of text typed, along
with the AUTONUMLGL field inserted where the number is to appear. You will
will see the {AUTONUMLGL} field when you toggle field codes in your
document.
