RE: Is there a Word guru in the house?

Oh, Sally, you've done it now! :) The chorus will soon begin: Numbering
is one of the more infamous challenges of (tech) writing in Word.

Anyhoo, I'd start here:

http://word.mvps.org/faqs/numbering/wordsnumberingexplained.htm

www.microsystems.com/PDFS/sevenlaws.pdf 

And the Word_DocDesign Group is also a great resource for things
intricate and arcane in Word, both of which could be on your horizon:

Best of luck on the journey!

Subject: Is there a Word guru in the house?

Hi, everyone. I've been blessed with not having to use Word as an
authoring tool, so my skills are not as advanced as many of you.  I'm
using Word 2007.


I've downloaded a document template that I need to modify for use by the
whole company.  The template has some number list 'magic' that I can't
replicate.  The document does not appear to use any styles other than
headings and Normal. I would like to create the appropriate styles so I
can fix formatting from other authors before the docs are released.

The doc has a 3-column table.

                                                Responsible
*Step  *   *Action*                           *Individual*
1          Do this thing                  I. Matt Falt
            1.1 step 1 of thing
            1.2 step 2 of thing

2          Do thing 2                     I. Matt Falt
            2.1 step 1 of thing 2
            2.2 step 2 of thing 2
            2.3 step 3 of thing 2

It the numbering in the Action column that I need help with.  It behaves
like the second level of a multilevel list, but where is the value of
level one being set?  The content in the Step column is text using the
Normal style.  How do I add 'thing 3' and get the numbered (3.x) steps
to do that thing?

Free free to contact me directly if this is an idiot lesson that the
rest of the list doesn't need.  ;-)

Thank you in advance!


Sally


P.S.  While I have you thinking about numbered lists, is it possible to
remove something from the Numbering Library?
