Weird Heading 1 style behavior
I'm having trouble figuring out why my Heading 1 style is misbehaving. I have only 1 Heading 1 style, but my document has 2 sections. I'm using 2 sections, so that I can have different Page Headers ...
Hello MikeSD ,
as Doug suggested, you need to set up the NumList as well. Whatever settings there are in that window they have precedence over Style setting, unfortunately.
Go to the Paragraph group on the Home ribbon, click the Multilevel list, click Define New Multilevel list... and there set what you need: Numbering, Numbering font, alignment, hanging indents, tabs.
Your document then should work as a charm.
Quite extensive explanation on how the multilevel lists work is for example here:
