hi:

does anyone have a template for a document containing outline numbered
headings whose normal style automatically indents correctly under the
heaings? or which contains multiple normal styles to automatically indent
under the headings?

thanks,

sd
 
Thanks very much for the pointer to Shauna's article. Her directions were
great!
But they didn't address how to get the "normal" style to indent, so that its
left margin is the same as the numbered head's left margin.

Must I create a separate "normal" style for each heading, so that the
"normal" text under a numbered heading lines up?
Thanks very much for your help!

Word has a number of built-in List Continue styles whose indents match those
of the List and List Number styles. You might start with those. Or you can
start with Body Text and customize it.

Wow! That Shauna Kelly website was phenominal!!! I'm a fairly expert user
of Microsoft styles, but have had issues getting the heading numbering to
work properly ever since the 2nd or 3rd iteration of Word (yes, that far
back). I think I've got it now. Awesome! Thank you for the info Suzanne
Barnhill.
 
I have read Shauna's articles and the other referenced articles but the
instructions do not seem to apply to Word 2007 (for example, I did not see a
tab labeled "Outline Numbered"). What are the specific selections in Word
2007 to get numbered headings in the style 1., 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 2., 2.1, etc.
THAT ARE RECOGNIZED AS NUMBERED HEADINGS when one selects "include chapter
number" in the page number formatting?
I tried modifying Heading 1, Heading 2, etc. per Shauna's instuctions, and
the description identifies them as outline level 1, outline level 2, outline
level 3...yet I still get the page-number error message that says the
headings are not numbered headings.
 
You must use the built-in heading styles (Heading 1, Heading 2, etc.); see
http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/numbering/UseBuiltInHeadingStyles.html

In Word 2007, the button that corresponds to the Outline Numbered tab in
previous versions is Multilevel List. As before, there are several choices
that has numbering levels linked to heading styles, one using the 1, 1.1,
1.1.1 format. To link numbering to other styles or refine the formatting of
that list, use Define New Multilevel List.
