Outline numbering with prefix

[cybertoast]

Is there a way to assign a prefix to all the level of an outline
numbered list? I need to do it using a style, so that I can
conveniently assign a prefix to all the numbers of the list.

For example, my list might be:
doc1.1: blah
doc1.1.1: blah1
doc1.1.1.1: blah2
doc1.2: blah

I know I can do it manually, by setting the prefix "doc1." and the
suffix ":" for each level of my custom outline numbered list. However,
I'd like to actually have word get the prefix value from a single point
so I don't have to go change it in each of the sub-levels.

If possible, it would be very convenient to have this be a field that
is defined in the document somewhere. The idea being that I can have
this be part of a template, and the prefix would change automatically
based on the document (eg. doc1, doc2, doc3, etc.).

Also, is there a way to "customize" the numbering style - eg. I want to
have 1.001, 1.002, etc for sub-levels. I see options for a single 0
prefix, but how about multiple?

Thanks much

Wow, not quite the straightforward solution I was thinking this might
be I'll give this a try in the next couple of days, but I suspect
that I'm going to have to go with the manual approach I currently have,
and skip the leading zero's. Else I might end up becoming permanent
tech support for all the people using the template I create!

Thanks much for the education tho'.
