Headings Question

[JMiller]

what I'd like to be able to do is to use the numbered outline headings, but
sometimes I'd like to put a short string before the heading; for example:

1 blah
1.1 blah blah
REQ 1.2 blah blah blah
1.3 blah blah blah blah

TIA

Although you can add text to the number format, you cannot do so for a
single paragraph; you can only do it for all paragraphs at a particular
numbering level.

To accomplish what you want, you may want to number certain paragraphs using
LISTNUM fields. Assuming that there are no intervening lists, this will be
relatively easy:

1 Heading 1
1.1 Heading 2
REQ { LISTNUM \l 2 } This is text at level two (but it doesn't have a
numbered style applied to it)

You can insert the LISTNUM field and specify a numbering level for it via
the Fields dialog box: In Word 2007, use Insert tab | Quick Parts | Field;
in Word 97-2003, use Insert | Field.
