RE: word numbering best practice question

["Brierley, Sean" <Sean -dot- Brierley -at- ipc -dot- com>]

Thanks,
 
I shalln't bother you offline. Key here for me is that you are using the
Outline Numbered tab to set up list numbering, not the Numbered tab.
And, it sounds like you've been successful and this does not mess with
Outline view (I use outline numbering with headings, also).
 
Thanks!

I've done this often with a pretty fair amount of success.
 
Start by creating placeholder styles. Create a style for each level of
outline you want. (Don't use the style names that Word uses for its
styles, come up with something new.) Don't bother to set up indenting
and stuff like that, just set the basic appearance - font, line spacing,
paragraph spacing and such.
 
Then go into the style formatting for the first level. In the numbering
window, select one of the outline number options and click on reset to
clean up any customization in it, and then click on Customize.
 
In the Customize Outline Numbered List window, click on the More button.
The extra options that appear let you attach the outline levels to your
styles. Go through each level, attach a style and then customize the
outline format and indents you want to use for that level.
 
That about it. I used this method on a specification template that works
really well. Contact me offline if'd like a copy of it. When I was
working on the specifications, I put IncreaseIndent and DecreaseIndent
on shortcut keys -- when you are within the outline list (if your styles
are set up right) and you increase or decrease indents, it automatically
assigns the right style. Works pretty slick, considering it's inWord.
