Numbered headings
Now, modify the Paragraph settings of every Heading style so that the Left Indent is 0, and the Specialindent is set to (none). Do this even if you want your headings to be indented from the left margin, andeven if you want a hanging indent. Why? Because for outline-numbered styles, we will set the paragraph indent and the hanging indents (if any) when we set up the numbering.
Put your cursor in a Heading 1 paragraph.
In Word 2002 and Word 2003, choose Format > Styles and Formatting. Right-click where it says "Heading 1", then choose Modify > Format > Numbering. (In earlier versions of Word, choose Format > Style > Modify > Format, and choose Numbering.)
You're now in the Customize Outline Numbered List dialog. Within this dialog box, you have to define the numbering you want for all your numbering levels without leaving the dialog box. That means that within this dialog box, you have to define the numbering you want for all your heading styles. Only then can youleave the dialog box.
In the Level list, choose Level 1.
The Number format box shows you how your numbering willlook. If you chose the first of the pre-set options, it will say 1). Ifyou don't want the ), delete it. If you want your number to be followed by aperiod, add a . If you want a different numbering style (for example, roman numbers orletters), choose one from the Number style box. If you want a word to appearbefore the number (for example, "Section ", "Chapter " or "Part "), type the word before thenumber. (Note: If the Number Style box is greyed out, un-tick Legal Style Numbering at the bottom right of the dialog box.)
If you get completely confused, delete everything in theNumber format box, and start again.
