Here are my requirements for a document model I’ve been trying to create:
- 4 numbered heading styles, each using a different configuration in terms of (bold,underline etc.), like this:
1.HEADING LEVEL 1
1.1. HEADING LEVEL 2
1.1.1. HEADING LEVEL 3
1.1.1.1. HEADING LEVEL 4
- 4 paragraph styles, 3 of them numbered following the same numbering scheme as above, and 1 not numbered.
1.1. This is a paragraph level 2…
1.1.1 This is a paragraph level 3…
1.1.1.1 This is a paragraph level 4…
This is a paragraph without number
I managed to create that model, by creating a numbering style that fulfilled my needs and associating it to every new numbered heading style and paragraph level style created, and it is working like a charm, except for the fact that when I switch the style for a paragraph (or heading), the numbering doesn’t automatically reflects the new level. For instance, if I have a level 2 paragraph
1.1 This is a paragraph…
and I need to convert this to level 3 paragraph, after I select level 3 paragraph style the style box, all the formatting is applied, but the numbering level continues level 2 (in the example above, “1.1”). Every time I need to go there and hit TAB to correct the numbering level, and this very much annoying and error prone.
Is there any way to configure this to change numbering level automatically? Maybe I got the wrong idea about numbering style, I don’t now…
For the record, I did select the correct levels in outline and numbering tab, while creating the heading and paragraph styles, but that don’t seem to affect the numbering.
