Help formating styles... please...

[elandau1]

I'm running Word (part of Office 2007) and have a document with a
HEADER1 and HEADER2 style. The HEADER2 style is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 etc.
(and does not reset when I have a HEADER1). I'd like it to be 1.1,
1.2, 1.3,1.4 etc. and have it reset back to 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 when I have
a HEADER1.

Can someone show me how to do that?

Thanks,
-Ed

Shauna's article is still great on the general principles, but it has not
been updated for Word 2007, which handles numbered styles very differently.

So.... would you by any chance know how the new 2007 version works?
There's got to be a setting somewhere to give a style a heirarchical
level?

I'm just beginning to feel my way through this wilderness, but you could
start by applying one of the multi-level list formats (the ones that show
Heading 1, Heading 2, etc.) to your headings. Or perhaps Jay will come back
with more specifics.

Thanks, Pam. This is very helpful. I'm finding this new approach to numbered
styles very confusing.
