Numbering (auto)

[Amanda]

Hi,

I want to number of series of points in a word document table. I'd like it
to read like this:

1.0 xxx
1.1 xxx
1.2 xxx
1.3 xxx etc etc
2.0 xxx
2.1 xxx
2.2 xxx
2.3 xxx etc etc

I can't make it do this though - can you help?

Thanks

Amanda

You should be able to do this by applying the outline-numbered list that has
1, 1.1, 1.1.1, etc. Customize the list by adding a zero after the number in
Level 1. See http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/numbering/OutlineNumbering.html
for more.

Hi,

I still can't get it to work.

If I have 1.0 (level 1), then on a new line have 1.1, the third line changes
to 2.1. ..I'm not sure what I am doing wrong?

Thanks

Amanda

Assuming that "1.1" and "2.1" are both level 2, I'd say that the previous
level (level 1) and the current level (level 2) numbers are in the wrong
order. In the Customize Outline Numbered List dialog box, click level 2,
delete the contents of the "Number format" box, and then recreate them:
Reinsert the "Previous level number," type the period, and add the number
for the current level via the "Number style" box.
