SYMPTOMSWhen you use Outline Numbering in Microsoft Word, if any heading style (Heading 1 through 9) appears in the text before a Heading 1 paragraph, then the Heading 1 paragraph will be numbered "2" when you apply Outline Numbering. CAUSE
This behavior is by design in the Word versions listed at the beginning of
this article and is different from behavior seen in earlier versions of
Word. In earlier versions, heading numbering did not increment the
numbering for the Heading 1 style based on the existence of a lower style
(Heading 2, for instance) preceding Heading 1 in the document. The result
in earlier versions of Word is that the first Heading 1 paragraph would be
numbered "1."
Heading 2the result after numbering is that the Heading 1 paragraph is numbered as "2," not "5." WORKAROUNDThis behavior may cause a problem in Word when you use chapter-page numbering in your document. Heading 1 is usually used to mark the start of a chapter, so whenever another heading style appears before the first Heading 1 paragraph, Word numbers the first chapter number as "2." To work around this problem, use either of the following methods. Method 1Rearrange your document so the Heading 1 paragraph is the first heading-level paragraph in your document. If this is not possible, use Method 2 instead.Method 2
