Heading 1 Roman I. then Heading 2 Numbering 1.1, 1.2, 1.3

[Janet A. Thompson]

In 2007, I have an existing 2007 document with linked styles that
1. has

Contract I - Terms

1.1 Definition is defined as ...
1.2 Personnel
1.3 Territory

Contract II - Places

2.1 Company is to be formed by 2010.
2.2 Place of residence is to be Michigan.

This is the body of the document.
If I were recreating the styles for this document, I cannot get the 1.2.
What I get is 2.1. Apparently there are linked styles but am unfamiliar with
them. Could they be causing the numbering to go awry. Could I set up the
numbering somewhere else other than the multi-list numbering box? How

To edit an existing outline-numbered list in Word 2007, place the insertion
point in the first top-level item (which means the first Heading 1 of the
document for heading numbering). Then click the Home tab of the ribbon, and
click Multilevel List | Define New Multilevel List. Word displays a dialog
box simliar to the Customize Outline Numbered List dialog of Word 97-2003.

Note that if you get "2.1" instead of "1.2" the previous and current level
numbers may have been interchanged in the "Enter formatting for this level"
box. The easiest fix is to delete the contents of the box and recreate them
via the "Number style for this level" and "Include level number from" boxes.

Hi Stefan,

I have a similar issue. My list should be like this:

CHAPTER I
1.1.
1.2
CHAPTER II
2.1
2.2

I managed to create a new multilevel list. However, As my first level has
ROMAN letters, these keep showing in the next levels, when I really need
LETTERS. This is what I get:

CHAPTER I
I.1
I.2
CHAPTER II
II.1
II.2

Is there anyway to transfer the Roman Letters as NUMBERS for the next
levels? If not, any suggestions as to how to make this type of numbering?
Thanks!

Ed.

Never Mind Stefan, silly me... Just noticed the "Legal Style Numbering"
Box...

Thanks!

Ed.

It's one of those cases when you find the answer immediately after asking
the question!

It's a mystery to me, though, how anyone would ever be expected to figure
out that "Legal Style Numbering" means "Change roman numerals to arabic."

I believe that not only Word/Microsoft uses "legal style" to mean "Arabic
numbering," but I agree that it is confusing.

Of course, "Force Arabic numbers" would be a lot more obvious.
