Numbering in Header Styles
Hi,
I have received a document that auto-numbers headers like this. I need them to number like this. I need to use this document as a template, so I would like the header styles to automatically number themselves correctly, as seen in the second picture.
How can I change the header style settings so that they automatically number the way I need them to?
Thank you for any help.
Doug has explained how to create stable numbering in Word.
If you are running Word on a Mac, see https://www.brandwares.com/bestpractices/2016/06/outline-numbering-in-word-for-os-x/.
- 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: http://shaunakelly.com/word/numbering/numbering20072010.html?p=1768 If you set up that numbering in a document that you save as a template and then create new documents based on that template, they will inheift the numbering system.
