Hi. In working with complex documents containing several sections/exhibits,
I've run into occasions where I need a second set of outline-numbered styles.
How do I create a second set of outline styles and keep them independent of
the first set, but link them so that the styles renumber within this second
group as they should? Thanks for the help!
 
See: How to create numbered headings or outline numbering in your Word

bullets see http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/bullets/controlbullets.html, the
subject is related.)

You can set up independent sets of styles.

You can have as many outline-numbered lists as you like, set up as described
at http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/numbering/OutlineNumbering.html. The
important thing is to have the outline levels correctly linked to the styles
and to have the styles all linked to the same outline list. Note that you
cannot have the same style linked to more than one outline-numbered list.

If you're trying to create additional outlines for, say, appendixes, see

What if I already have a numbering scheme that uses all 9 heading levels, and
want to create a separate, independent numbering scheme that includes another
9 levels? How do I set up that second set of headings to behave in the same
manner as the first set, but be totally independent in terms of the
numbering. Thanks for the help!
 
If you create a new outline-numbered list with nine new styles linked to the
nine levels, it will be totally independent of the original outline list
linked to nine other styles.
