TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Let's say that you create a new document with the Normal template.
Next you choose Numbered Headings (1. , 1.1. , 1.1.1. ,...)
Each of these headings is, of course, automatically indented; and, each is indented more than the previous heading. (As is clearly displayed in the Numbered Headings preview.)
*The question is:
Is there some automatic way that the text in the paragraphs will automatically match the indents of the Headings?
I could write a new template, and define a style for: "Style for following paragraph" that will match these styles up.
I guess the real question is: How come there isn' t some built-in way to do this?
Or, perhaps: How come Word doesn't do this automatically (or offer it as an option), when you choose the numbered Headings option.
