Chapter Numbering

G

Hi

I'd like to automatically number chapters as follows:

Chapter #

Chapter Title

#.1 Sub title

#.2 Etc...

How do I do this?

I've managed to get the styles to work, but when it comes to number
the Chapter # value, when I use the SECTION field entry, it counts the
number of sections rather than the chapter number. I.e. if I have 3
roman numeral sections, followed by an arabic numbered section, it
will have

Chapter 4

Chapter Title

1.1 Sub Title
1.2 Etc...

Thanks in advance!

Make Chapter # your Level 1 heading in an outline numbering scheme. See
http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/numbering/OutlineNumbering.html. If you'll
look at the List Gallery for Outline Numbering (Format | Bullets and
Numbering), you'll see that one of the numbering schemes already has
"Chapter" included. Since you'll be putting the chapter title in a separate
paragraph, set all the indents to 0" and "Follow number with" to "Nothing."
