Hello,
This is my first time posting here as usually I manage to figure problems out either myself or from reading stuff on the net but this one has me totally baffled! I shall do my best to try and explain the problem as concisely as possible but it is quite complicated!
I have defined and saved a new numbering scheme/list in Microsoft Word 2007 and added it to my Normal Template so I can import it when using it on new or existing documents. It looks a bit like this (ignore the underlining though!):-
1. Bla bla bla
1.1 Bla bla bla
__1.1.1 Bla bla bla
____1.1.1.1 Bla bla bla
I did this in order to try and apply this style to old documents without the hassle of going through every different section and manually altering the indentations, tabs etc. However, the problem is that when I apply the new style to an existing document it totally messes up all the existing numbering. If I applied it to a document which had the numbering as I detailed above then it would just look like this:-
1. Bla bla bla
2. Bla bla bla
3. Bla bla bla
4. Bla bla bla
This means that I then have to go through the whole document tabbing numbers across so that they are the same as before. Is there any easy way to preserve the existing list levels whilst applying the new style to format all the tabs, indentations and alignments?
Anyone who can solve this problem will earn instant hero status!
Thanks,
