Need two styles for same level of outline numbering

[ROBROYNZ]

I've been masochistic enough to work through the outline numbering FAQs, and
Shauna Kelly's excellent tutorial. I've successfully organised my entire
Heading 1 through Heading 9. However, I need also to have a paragraph style
(not to appear in the TOC) but which is numbered in the same way as for
heading 2, e.g., 1.1 [text]. These numbers need to pick up the numbering
from the preceding heading style (usually Heading 1). As soon as I try to do
this it warps all the other numbering <g>.
Can this be done? If so, how? Help!!

If you base a style on a numbered one, the numbering will carry over. For
example:

1 Heading 1
2 My custom heading 1 (based on Heading 1)
3 Heading 1

Make sure to set the "Outline level" of the child style to "Body Text."
Also, make sure not to make any changes to the numbering of the child style
(if you do, the original style will lose its numbering).

Alternatively, use LISTNUM fields. These fields are very easy to use, at
least if there is only one numbered list (the heading list) in the document.

I have a similar problem. I need to have a paragraph style (not to appear in
the TOC), not bold, but which is numbered in the same way as for the previous
heading. These numbers need to pick up the numbering from the preceding
heading style, whatever that may be.

I also need a style similar to this style, in bold formatting, at the same
"level".

For instance, level "1.0 Scope" would be level 1, all bold, print in TOC.
Level "1.1 Purpose" would be level 2, all bold, print in TOC. Level "1.1.1
Conditions" would not be bold and would not print in the TOC. Level "1.5.1
Limitations" would be bold and print in the TOC.

An illustration might help. The words "bold" or "not bold" following a
paragraph indicate that the entire paragraph would be "bold" or "not bold".

1.0 Scope "bold"
Now is the time for all good men to come to the .............. "not
bold"

1.1 Purpose "bold"
Now is the time for all good men to come to the ..............
"not bold"

1.1.1 The Conditions of the study will be
............................... "not bold"

1.2 Limitations "bold"
Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid .............
"not bold"

1.2.1 Superseding Limitations "bold"
Now is the time for all good men to come to the
................."not bold"

Thanks so much Stefan - seems so simple in the end. I was trying to
over-complicate the whole thing because the outline numbering was rather
complex in its setup. Anyway, it now all works as I want it - thanks for the
assistance. What would we do without people like you!

You need to follow Stefan's advice. You have Styles for Heading 1, Heading
2 and Heading 3 that appear in your table of contents and for the 1.5.1 that
you mention, you would use Heading 3 style.

In addition, you create another paragraph style that is based on the Heading
3 style, that contains the formatting that you want and you use that style
for the 1.1.1 paragraph that you mention.

It is probably however illogical to have only some of the items that have
the same numbering as the Heading 3 style appear in the table of contents
unless under Heading 2 you have only all Heading 3 style paragraphs or only
all of the other style paragraphs for which the style is based on the
Heading 3 style, and not a mixture of both, which could result in something
like the following in the table of contents

1.5
1.5.1
1.5.3

That is no 1.5.2 because it was formatted with the other style.
