Outline Numbering and Styles

[pgseye]

Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) Processor: Intel Hi,

I'm writing a PhD thesis and am having trouble with setting up outline numbering the way I want it. I've got it almost the way I want it with correct numbering by chapter, heading, sub-heading etc, except I can't figure out how to turn off the numbering just for the first (chapter) level.

eg. AT the moment I have:

1. CHAPTER 1
  1.1 Introduction
    1.1.1 ...
    1.1.2 ...
  1.2 ...
2. CHAPTER 2
  2.1
  2.2

etc

What I want is:

CHAPTER 1
  1.1 Introduction
    1.1.1 ...
    1.1.2 ...
  1.2 ...
CHAPTER 2
  2.1
  2.2

Is there a way to do this? I've tried everything I can think of (eg assigning no numbering to the first (chapter) level - but then the sublevels don't update by chapter).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Paul

You can't "turn off" the numbering for the TOP level, or the whole sequence
will not work properly.

What you CAN do is make the top level say "CHAPTER n"

Simply carefully type the characters "CHAPTER " in front of (before...) the
number you see in the Level 1 numbering level.

Hope this helps

John,

Thank you so much! I spent hours on this yesterday and gave up in frustration. Quite a simple fix.

Thank you,

Paul
