Numbering Appendix Headings in Word 2007

[R Dunn]

Hi all,

I've tried to follow the instructions from Shauna Kelly's webpage
http://www.ShaunaKelly.com/word/numbering/NumberingAppendixes.html
as per the suggestion in a previous post on this topic (see below).

but I'm getting stuck at the very first part where she says:

"2 How to create your outline numbering

Put your cursor in a Heading 1 paragraph.

In Word 2002 and Word 2003, choose Format > Styles and Formatting.
Right-click where it says "Heading 1", then choose Modify > Format >
Numbering. (In earlier versions of Word, choose Format > Style > Modify >
Format, and choose Numbering.)

Click the Outline Numbered Tab........."

and the instructions continue from there.

My problem is that when I try to modify Heading 1, the only numbering option
it gives me is bullets & numbering, & Shauna explicitly says NOT to use this
button. I'm using Word2007, with its funny menu bars. So I'm not sure if I'm
on the wrong menu bar (I've been using the "Home" menu bar, under "Styles"),
or what.

Any ideas????

Thanks in advance

Rebecca


















Unless you're using way too many heading levels in the body of the document,
the trick for the appendixes is to use unused heading levels. This will
allow you to include the appendix number in page numbers (in a way that will
show up in the TOC), figure captions, etc. See
http://www.ShaunaKelly.com/word/numbering/NumberingAppendixes.html for
instructions.

Indeed, Word 2007 no longer allows you to go via the Modify Style dialog box
when you want to modify outline/multilevel numbering (unless you are using a
list style). Instead, you will have to start by pressing the Multilevel List
button on the Home tab. Then pick a numbering scheme that displays the
heading styles (if you want to number headings).

Use the Define New Multilevel List command to create or modify a numbering
scheme. Clicking it will display the Define New Multilevel List dialog box
(which corresponds to the Customize Outline Numbered List dialog box in Word
97-2003).

When modifying numbering, it is probably still a good idea to place the
insertion point inside the top-level paragraph of a list.

Thanks Stefan

I'll give that a go.

Glad I could help.

Also, for anyone who's looking for it, the multi-level list button is to the
right of the bullets & numbering buttons on the Home tab.
