Word will do it for you if you select the first paragraph under the skipped number, right-click and choose Numbering, Set Numbering Value, Continue from Previous List and set the numbering as required. Word will insert the blank paragraph and hide it for you.

The separate cells will allow for separate paragraphs in each cell which can be set to whatever outline level you need.

can you please tell me how to put outlined numbers in the same line e.g

1.1 1.2 1.3 we use this when setting tests for our learners

Also, I’m assuming that are you using insert reference, cross reference to include the cross reference. The cross-reference does bring in brackets etc. that are used to format the original number, but mine doesn’t include a tab.

All I want is the 1.

If all else fails, try constructing the numbering for level two from scratch. Clear the ‘Enter formatting for number’ box. Then choose ‘Include level number from’ and choose level 1. This should put a number into the ‘Enter formatting…’ box. Now enter a full stop then choose the ‘Number style for this level’ – you should end up with 2.1 or something similar. You’re welcome to send me the document via email if it still doesn’t work. Contact details on http://www.tkb.co.uk.

Good luck

Simon
