Just can't get there from here....

[jopakent -at- comcast -dot- net]

Desired numbering scheme: 

Section 1 
1.1 
1.1.1 
... 
... 
Appendix A 
A.1 
A.1.1 

<Strike 1 > 
I tried to make Word's Autonumbering work. Chased the gallery around for an hour or so again yesterday afternoon. Predictable results. I actually did get the body of the doc working correctly. I just had to hand number the Appendices and its sub-paragraphs. 

<Strike 2> 
Next, I tried to get the AutoNumLGL field to work. The problem here is that I can't find any information on how to control this field, so when if I use "Appendix { AUTONUMLGL \* ALPHABETIC \e }" for a document with 7 sections, my first Appendix appears as "Appendix H" I tried using switches for other fields (like \s and \r), but that doesn't seem to work. Also, I haven't figured out what to do with the Appendix 2 field so that I can get it to produce A.1. I tried using 
"{ AUTONUMLGL \* ALPHABETIC \l2 }" 
This gives me: 
Appendix H 
H.A. 
H.A.A 
So the problem of not being able to set the starting point persists and then I have the new problem of wanting mixed format (alphabetic.numeric). 

<Strike 3> 
On the advice of Word's Help, I tried using {LISTNUM LegalDefault \l 1 \s 1} and this seems to be on the right track. By using \l 2 and \l 3 for Appendix 2 and Appendix 3 styles I now have: 
Appendix 1 
1.1 
1.1.1 
But this still leaves me needing to resolve the alpha versus numeric issue. I tried using the \ALPHABETIC switch, but Word seems to ignore it. 

I'm out of ideas.(and strikes:) 

Anyone else have suggestions? Oh, and please reply directly if you do have an idea (short of huffing white out in the men's room) as I'm on digest.
