numbering after combining different subdocuments

[Alex]

Hi,

I am writing my PhD thesis and have written different
chapters as separate documents. I am now experiencing
great difficulty is to combine the documents and get a
consistent numbering.

In those documents I have formatted the numberings
according to the chapter number.

For example in Chapter 2, the structure would be like
that:
Chapter 2
2.1 Introduction
2.1.1 paragraph 1
2.1.2 paragraph 2
2.2 Results
2.2.1 etc.

All fine but when I combine the different chapters in one
master document I get this:
Chapter 2
2.1 Introduction
2.1.1 ...
2.2 Results

Chapter 3
2.3 Introduction
2.4 Results

So I can't figure out how to tell Word to leave the
numbering in each subdocument as it is. My "chapter 2" is
defined as level 1 but I don'T want it to be numbered,
ie. as "2 Chapter 2" (looks silly), so I have not
formatted it as "numberings and bullets" Is that the
problem? I have tried different things, but can't get it
to work. The reason why I want to combine things is to be
able to generate a table of contents quickly in the end.
Maybe anyone has got advice?
Many thanks,

Alex

Alex,

numbering consistently in a Word document can be quite
fulfilling when you play according to the rules. See the
following for an explanation:

also, be aware that master and subdocuments have known
bugs;
