Heading numbers not being updated

[awadja]

Hi all,

I've read lots of posts and I think my problem is that Word is not
doing what its supposed to do.

I have 2 source docs that feed into a target doc. Each source doc has
2 headings (Level 1). I use INCLUDETEXT to import the text of the 2
src docs.

When I import into the target doc I get:

----------------------------------------------------
Header 1
Text of doc 1, section 1.

Header 2
Text of doc 1, section 2.

Header 1
Text of doc 2, section 1.

Header 2
Text of doc 2, section 2.
----------------------------------------------------


In other words, it does not continue the numbering for headings to
make it 3...then 4... etc.

From what I read, this is NOT the normal behaviour.

I haven't tried flushing my Normal.Dot or anything like that yet, but
I just want to make sure that the normal behaviour for word IS to re-
number, because that's not what I'm getting!

Thanks,
James

Yes, James, this IS normal behavior. After using your includetexts, you'll
need to update the fields (and perhaps save the document AFTER you've
updated it). See my article on updating fields:
