Elise - you are fighting over-lapping outline definitions. Others may have
different solutions but the only one that I have found to work effectively
is to eliminate the outline definitions all together and start over.
One key, when using outlines, is to set the outline setup at the start of
the document and just do your outline in the Outline View. By default, the
outline definition will be connected to formatting Styles which you can then
adjust to your needs for indenting, font size, etc.
Good luck. BUD

Subject: [mso] Word 2003: bullets and numbering nightmares
I am preparing a legal contract, so there are lots of sections and
sub-sections. Most sections are numbered like this:
Section 1: blah blah blah
1.1 blah blah blah
1.2 blah blah blah
1.3 etc
but there are a few like this:
Section 2: blah blah blah
2.1 blah blah blah
2.1.2 blah blah blah
2.1.3 blah blah blah
2.1.4 blah blah blah
2.2 blah blah blah
I am having some frustrating behavior with two consecutive sections.
The first is section 7, which has subsections 7.1, 7.2, then 7.2.1, 7.2.2,
7.2.3, and 7.2.4, and then it has 7.3. I go into Format -> Bullets and
numbering -> customize and make that work - no problem. But then when I go
to section 8, which has subsections 8.1 through 8.13 (with no
sub-subsections), the sub-subsections in section 7 grab onto the section 8
numbering instead of keeping their 7.x.x numbering. So section 7 now looks
like this: 7.1, 7.2, 8.1, 8.2, 8.3, 8.4, 7.3. Then I fix section 7 to how
it's supposed to look, and Section 8 thinks it's supposed to be a
continuation of the 7.2.2, 7.2.3, 7.2.4 list. Does that description make
any sense at all, and can anyone tell me what to do to get these two
sections to stop being so co-dependent?
Thank you so much!!!!!
Elise
