Thanks for all your responses. I'm afraid I didn't make myself clear which is always embarrassing in this profession. I don't actually have a problem I just wondered how in the Report Template the List Number style restarts numbering after a higher level when the List Template that is active when you look at Format/Style/Bullets&Numbering doesn't seem to match it. It also seems odd that Microsoft didn't choose Outline Numbering through Format/Styles/Bullets&Numbering but simply through Format/Bullets&Numbering. I'm just wondering if perhaps they do it a different way than seems to be normally recommended and if their way tends to work better. I've read everything I can about Numbering but I always seem to have some sort of little problem or other. Actually, I did find a comprehensive document on List Templates - it's at http://www.microsystems.com/pdfs/ListTemplates.pdf if anyone is interested.

No numbering shows in the List Templates through Format/Style/Bullets&Numbering. Can anyone explain why the active List Template is the legal numbering one and how the List Number style restarts numbering after a higher level? > Thanks, > Petra > > > > ************************************************** > To post a message to austechwriter, send the message to austechwriter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx > > To subscribe to austechwriter, send a message to austechwriter-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with "subscribe" in the Subject field. > > To unsubscribe, send a message to austechwriter-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe" in the Subject field. > > To search the austechwriter archives, go to www.freelists.org/archives/austechwriter > > To contact the list administrator, send a message to austechwriter-admins@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > ************************************************** > ************************************************** To post a message to austechwriter, send the message to austechwriter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx To subscribe to austechwriter, send a message to austechwriter-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with "subscribe" in the Subject field.
