Re: Numbering restarts despite Restart Numbering After setting

H Greg:

The problem is in the Style, not the numbering. Heading 4 is not a member
of the same Outline List as Headings 1, 2, and 3.

Review Shauna's instructions about defining all nine levels of the SAME list
template, one onto each of the nine heading styles, and it will come right
of its own accord.

The change marking is a bit mysterious: I have seen it too. In my case, it
usually turned out to be an un-accepted tracked change. But sometimes it
*was* a document corruption, fixed by "Maggying" the document (copy all but
last paragraph mark into a clean new document).

Hope this helps

I am beginning to suspect that my 359-page document is corrupted. I am
using
Word 2003.

Removing bullets and changing the way numbering is set results in a marked
change -- but, ahem, Change Tracking is not turned on. No other changes
get
marked, that I've found so far.

I have a Heading 3 heading numbered 4.2.16, followed by a Heading 4
heading
that is numbered 4.1.1.1 instead of (obviously) 4.2.16.1. I tried what
Shauna
suggests in her great
http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/numbering/OutlineNumbering.html page,
setting
Restart Numbering After. It is set to Level 3, as it should be.

The Styles and Formatting pane shows:

1. Heading 1
1.1. Heading 2
1.1.1 Heading 3
4.1.1.1 Heading 4

Changing the Start At setting affects only the current level's number, not
the leftmost 4 above that should be a 1 like the others. I have reset the
Number Position and Text Position more than once and it keeps moving
around.
Right now the numbering is left-justified like I want but the text has a
huge
gap -- not what the Styles and Formatting pane shows.

I'm dyin' here. ;-)
