Subject:RE: Any other ideas about Word Outline numbering? From:"Dan Goldstein" <DGoldstein -at- riverainmedical -dot- com> To:<techwr-l -at- lists -dot- techwr-l -dot- com> Date:Thu, 10 Sep 2009 08:57:06 -0400
For outline numbering, try the AutoNumLgl field. You can create
paragraph styles for any type of indentation you desire, and leave the
whole Bullets/Numbering dialog out of the equation. AutoNumLgl is very
stable and easy to use.
