Autonumbering 1.1.1, 1.2.2

[Guest]

I am trying to set the autonumbering in this format 1.1.1 ,1.1.2, 1.2.1, 1.2.2

I have tried using outline number and I seem to be only able to increase the
3rd digit incrementily by 1.

I don't understand. Isn't that what you're trying to do? Do you mean that
the Level 3 numbering doesn't restart? Do you have the restart box checked
for that level?

Hi HGL1

I am trying to set the autonumbering in this format 1.1.1 ,1.1.2, 1.2.1, 1.2.2

3rd digit incrementily by 1.

Well, by what else would you like to increase it?

See the following articles on Word's numbering, ahem, "challenges" (some
might call it "mess", or "fiasco"):

If you have managed to setup a 3-level outline numbering as described
above, then on a heading 3 "1.1.2" will follow a heading 3 "1.2.1" if
and only if there's a heading 2 between them. If you want something
else, we need more details.
