Outline Levels Vs Styles

OK, this is really probably something very simple. I want to know how I can
associate an outline level with a Style.

I am trying to create a template to prepare documentation for and I want
Style like, Module, Section and SubSection etc. So when I Create a new
document, I want to be able to see those styles appear for a particular
level, so if I demote a Module (top level ) then I want to see it indented
and changed to a Section Style

Any Ideas ?

Hi Terry

Modify the Paragraph format of your style. Near the Alignment box (where you
set the style to be left, centred or right-aligned) you can change the
Outline level of your style.

However, depending on what you want to do with your Module, Section,
SubSection styles, you might like to read the following:

Thats doesent work, because as soon as you promote or demote the level it
returns to the Style Leveln

Hi Terry

To get the promote / demote system working for a set of custom styles, you
have to set them up as a set of numbered styles -- even if you apply no
numbering to them.

Follow the instructions on the this page:
How to create numbered headings or outline numbering in your Microsoft Word
document

http://www.ShaunaKelly.com/word/numbering/OutlineNumbering.html


When you get to the Bullets and Numbering dialog, and choose the Outline
Numbered tab, click on one of the schemes in the top row, and make
absolutely sure that you click Reset before you click Customize.

Now, in the Customize Outline Numbered List dialog, link your styles to the
relevant levels. If you don't have 9 levels in your scheme, make sure the
un-used levels are linked to no style and that they have no numbering.

For each level, delete anything in the Number Format box, and make sure
you've set the level to follow the "numbering" with a Nothing.

Hope this helps.
