Re: Restart numbering automatically

List levels and list numbers information does not import into DOORS and thus
the information is not there when it comes time to export to Word and
defaults back to the original style. Only the paragraph style itself imports
into DOORS. All paragraph styles are the same inside DOORS except for
headings styles. They all look the same and the numbers are not there except
headings styles(which import as a heading and not object text). Object ID
numbers are how the step numbers are identified in DOORS.

For now the engineers have been informed that if they need customer hard
copy documents they will have to tell one of the writers and give them enough
time to renumber the documents manually.

We are still experimenting with macros and possibly 3 seperate paragraph
styles for the main body text (test steps in this case). My attempts to
import and export any outline styles, or list styles only come back as the
paragraph style and no numbers at all.

There is no requirement that outline-numbered paragraphs be heading styles.
You can have a mixture of headings and body text. The only requirement is
that you link a given list level (you can have up to 9) with a specific
paragraph style. You can restart numbering at any point. If you make your
step numbering the lowest level, lists of steps will restart numbering after
*any* higher-level style in the outline.

I thank you for the time you have taken responding to me, but I believe
that
I'm not accurately communicating the problem. I'm not sure that I can
accurately communicate the problem without showing it.

The headings style in all documentation are specified by company policy.
Headings 1-X are a standard Word font and that is the headings that must
be
used. Most of the documentation I've seen uses at least to heading 5. A
few
actually use all the way to 8 or 9. If I make the step numbers an outline
number listing below the headings it both changes the way the heading
looks
and numbers the step numbers in a style that is not a paragraph style and
thus the information does not import into DOORS. When exported back out
into
Word since there is no paragraph style information imbedded it simply
defaults to normal font and has no numbers although the headings revert to
their original heading style.

DOORS recognizes paragraph styles as object text and imbeds the style
information (you don't see the style in DOORS) and uses a default font as
object text. DOORS also recognizes a heading style and imports that as a
heading and not as object text. The test steps need to be in object text
to
correctly display in the testing GUI.

You would not have to manually restart your step numbering if you would
make
it part of an outline-numbered list with the heading as Level 1.
