Hello,
Although I usually post questions on VB, this question relates to the numbering in a multilevel list within a Word template. I create templates with macros to assist our specialists - for example, they open a document based on my template and create a proposal for their client. In the template, I have created a multilevel list style with 4 levels - each level is a different level heading.
However, often when we open a document based on the template, all the numbering changes - it retains the right level style - however, the numbering no longer follow the rules as set. For example,
1. Level 1 heading
1.1. Level 2 heading
1.1.1. Level 3 heading
The level 2 heading should pick up the preceding level 1 heading but it isn't always doing this. For example,
The numbering in a list doesn't always start on 1. while in other places, the Level 1 heading is correct but not the level 2 headings which follow:
3. Level 1 heading
6.1 Level 2 heading
6.2 Level 2 heading
Can anyone help me stabilise these lists so that we don't have to keep fixing the numbering in every document? I previously created a 47 page Trust deed with 9 levels and these don't corrupt so I am really not sure what to do to fix this. Unfortunately, most of the users of the template on not brilliant in word hence using automated templates.
The only difference between the development of the documents is the version of Word (I developed some on 2007 and others in 2010) - would this have an effect? I have seen when I record macros, the coding is different in the two versions of Word but whether this affects multilevel lists I have no clue.
Thank you
Lindsey
