This ensures the BodyText items will not appear in the TOC at all.

#HEADING STYLES IN WORD UPDATE#
This is where my memory of Word 2007 memory becomes hazy, the following is purely Word 2003 - if it doesn't match, let me know and I'll update for Word 2007 once I'm home and can check directly.

Adjust Table of Contentsīecause the new styles are based on the Heading ones they will appear in the table of contents. Not sure why, but you may wish to try so you don't have to redefine the font size/etc for each BodyText style. Instead, you might be able to base BodyText2 (etc) on BodyText1, and just adjust the numbering level, but for some reason this caused me a problem. You probably will want to create BodyText1 based on Heading2, BodyText2 based on Heading3, and so on for however many levels you will need. Obviously, you'll need to remove bold, adjust the font size, adjust the paragraph spacing, and whatever else you need to ensure the body text appears how you want it to. Click on the New Style button, on Word 2007 I think this is a pictoral button of a letter A with a gleam/star on it.Įach new style should be Based On a corresponding Heading entry, this ensures they will stay within the correct numbering pattern, because they're using exactly the same pattern. Get up the styles pane, IIRC in Word 2007 you hit the small down arrow on the bottom-right of the styles selector on the ribbon. And please note that I'm doing these in Word 2003 so they actual motions may be slightly different. Anybody help?Īlmost, the following will do what you want except that you'll also need one body style per level (the same as you need one heading style per level), instead of one style overall. Clause 2 style should detect that it belongs under subsection 3.2, or even subsection 4.5, then adjust its numbering accordingly. I wonder if it is possible for a Style in one Multilevel List to "get" the outline number it belongs to? For example, Clause 1 style should detect that it belongs to section 1, or section 2, then adjust its numbering accordingly. I have the following Multilevel Lists defined and linked to the respective Styles: I think it's in the way that Word 2007 organizes outline lists (now called Multilevel Lists). See the body text numbering that won't adjust accordingly: The numbers in the multi-level list should adjust according to the section (or subsection, or subsubsection number) to which it belongs. If at all possible, I would like to define just one Body Text style linked to a numbered multi-level list. I couldn't find the right way to do that, whether in multilevel lists, fields, styles, etc. The numbered body text paragraphs shouldn't show up the Table of Contents.

How do I make two list sequences link to each other? Here's a Body text under Heading Level 2 They also correctly show up in the Table of Contents (not all, I only set the TOC up to Level 3). I have the following styles defined in Word 2007.
