How to remove the dot after the number 1.1. using Ms Words ?
Hi all, do you all know any youtube tutorial that teaches how to remove the dot after the number 1.1. (see the screenshot attached) using Ms Words ?
Ms Words automatically insert dot numbering, for example:
1.1.
but how can I remove the dot so that my numbering would look like:
1.1
without the dot
I have to remove the dot for all heading for my PhD dissertation.
The univeirsty do not want to compromise, I must remove the dot.
I need help. I feel stupid to do it manually?
Any help is appreciated? ![]()
See the article "How to create numbered headings or outline numbering in your Microsoft Word document" on the following page of the Late Shauna Kelly's website:

In the Define new Multilelvel list dialog, simply remove the periods from after the numbers.
However, it is best to start with a list that has each numbering level linked to the appropriate Heading # style
- I think Doug has answered your question well.The Define New Multilevel List dialog is the key. I agree if you use automatic paragraph numbering or bullets read Shauna Kelly's directions on numbering and bullets. Start with How to create numbered headings or outline numbering in Word 2007 and Word 2010. For large documents you must follow these directions or you will lose your hair! (Mac version: https://www.brandwares.com/bestpractices/2016/06/outline-numbering-in-word-for-os-x/) This may seem a bit convoluted at first, but it really is not. Just follow the steps. Shauna Kelly's instructions use the built-in heading styles, but you can use any existing paragraph styles including your custom styles. There are, however advantages to using the built-in heading styles when you create a Table of Contents. Here are some more advantages: Why Use Word's Built-In Heading Styles? by Shauna Kelly Note, you can modify these built-in styles to look exactly the way you want.

Once you have this set up, you should not use the buttons for numbering in the Ribbon but rather apply the appropriate style for that level. You can save a document with this as a template for future documents if you want so you will not need to do this every time.
