Hi Eleonore

Thanks for your question. On the Home ribbon take a look at the Multi level numbering button (just to the right of the regular numbered bullet list button)

From the dialogue box that opens click Define Multilevel list then More (bottom left corner of the dialogue box)

You can now create a numbered and lettered bullet style and associate it with a heading style using the drop down box labelled Link level to style.

I hope this helps - do let me know how you get on.

Kind regards,
Andrew

RE: formatting

Thanks for that Andrew. But for some reason i can't get it to follow on from the previous level.

I want level one to be 1, 2, 3
level 2 to be 1.1, 1.2, or 2.2, 2.3 etc
level 3 to follow on from level 2 and be 1.1.2 or 2.2.1 etc...
But it doesn't want to do it.


Thanks

Hi Eleonore

How are things with numbered lists? I wondered if another thing to look at is multi-level lists. If you look at the paragraph group on the Home ribbon there are three bullet list buttons. The first is bullets, the second numbered and the third is Multilevel. Click the drop down arrow beside the multilevel button and you can then use one of the presets or click Define new multilevel list to create your own.

I hope this helps - do let us know if you have any further questions.

Kind regards,
Andrew

Word tip:

Close a Document

Word opens multiple documents in multiple windows. Press CTRL+F4 (Function 4 key) or ALT+F4. to Close a document.
(There is no way to turn this feature off) So unlike other programs there is no difference between CTRL+F4 and ALT+F4, unless you have just one document open. CTRL+F4 closes just the document ALT+F4 closes both the document and Word.
