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. When using legal numbering and cross referencing to the first level (1.), how do I do it so that it doesn’t insert the 1. and 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 www.tkb.co.uk.

Heading 1 1.1 Sub heading 1 2. Heading 1 1.1 Sub heading 1 i.e. although heading 1 numbers go 1, 2, 3 etc., the next level down will only go 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 etc and not 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 etc, corresponding to the paragraph or section number. Any ideas? Thanks, John Hi – the problem I have is demonstrated by the following:

1. Heading 1
1.1 Sub heading 1

2. Heading 1
1.1 Sub heading 1

i.e. although heading 1 numbers go 1, 2, 3 etc., the next level down will only go 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 etc and not 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 etc, corresponding to the paragraph or section number. Any ideas? Thanks, John

If you can't see this option in the Multilevel options screen, click on the 'More..' button. Let me know if it works, or if it doesn't let me know which version of Word you're using. Good luck Simon Hi Ed

Got a straight question for you: If my first level has ROMAN letters (I, II, III, IV...)... is there anyway I can transfer those to another level but as NUMBERS? i.e., I = 1, II=2, and so... The thing is that I'm writing a thesis and the requirement is to have CHAPTER in Roman letters, but then, the rest in Numbers: CHAPTER 1, 1.1., 1.2, CHAPTER 2, 2.1, 2.2... I got the levels set up, but haven´t been able to transfer the letters as numbers. Any ideas? Thanks! Ed. Hi Simon!

Much appreciated. Well after hours of running around in circles trying to get a TOC from my “Multilevel list” the “Link level to style” tip was a real life saver. Much appreciated.
