restarting numbering in sections

[Anika]

Hi Everyone,

I'm two weeks away from submitting my thesis and the
powers that be have decided this is just the right time to
give me a Word headache.

I created each chapter in a different document but applied
the same styles to each (copied them through the style
organiser). I have created my headings with outlined
numbering so that I have 1.1 Heading2, 1.1.1 Heading 3 and
so on.

To facilitate a clean printing and folowing of page
numbers I have copied all 9 chapters into one document,
inserting a Next Page Section break between chapters so
that they can have different headers and start afresh on a
new page.

BUT now my heading numbering has gone down the drain.
Chapter one is fine but all the rest are also numbered
1.1, 1.2, 1.3 etc. As soon as i try to change chapter 2
to start at 2.1 chapter one and all the others go 2.1,
2.2. I change the numbering via right click|bullets &
numbering and customise the outlined number style.

I've trawled through the posts to no avail, can anyone
help me?
Cheers.

Hi Anika

See

You probably don't need to restart your numbering. Use Heading 1 to number
the Chapter, so you have something like:

Chapter 1 [Heading 1]
1.1 xxxx xxx [Heading 2]
1.1.1 xxxx xxx [Heading 3]


Chapter 2 [Heading 1]
2.1 xxxx xxx [Heading 2]
2.1.1 xxxx xxx [Heading 3]

Hope this helps.

Hi Shauna,
I re-read the instructions on your site and finally got
it! I didn't realise that after you paste the chapters
all together you have to select the same styled text and
then click the heading style in the style window again to
update it! So easy and yet so elusive. Thank you, I might
actually get a chance to enjoy the sun here in Perth this
afternoon!

Hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend,
Anika

Alternatively, you can use the following keyboard shortcuts to reset
the selected text to style:

CTRL+Q removes paragraph formatting (numbering, alignment, indents,
space before, space after, line spacing, keep with next, keep lines
together, and so on) not in style.

CTRL+SPACEBAR removes font formatting (font name, font size, bold,
italic, underline, and so on) not in style. Unfortunately, it also
removes character styles applied to text.
