www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/index.html has a numbering tab full of stuff, including a tech writer unfriendly but ne'er the less useful for you solution. Essentially you use level 1 as white 1 pt and it is your restart point. Level 2 appears to be your level 1 and always restarts properly, who cares what level is reading as its white 1 pt :-) Steve Hudson Word Heretic, Sydney, Australia Tricky stuff with Word or words for you.

I have been readin= g up on this on the web, and cannot see how to make this reliable given the= inanities of outline numbering. At the moment I am resorting to applying the template, fixing the heading n= umbering in the document and switching off Automatically Update Document St= yles. I have not found a way of making the Outline Galleries between the t= emplate and the document match so that Automatically Update Document Styles= doesn't apply whatever formatting it wants over the styles in the document. Advice please - I am TRYING to make these templates idiot proof but the cli= ent wants numbering, and I want them to be applied with the style.
