Dear MS Word Guru...

What I am trying to do is build a sequentially numbered headings for an appendix (without losing headings 1 through 5) as follows in the appendix.

heading 1: Appendix A
Heading 2: A.1
Heading 3: A.1.1

(same as the standard headings in Styles - which I do not want to lose)

Next Appendix

Heading 1. Appendix B
Heading 2: B.1
etc

I have figured out how to make the heading 1 not number 2 and 3 so they are related (sequentially) to heading 1.

Ayybody know enough to break it down Barney style (or have a link I can follow)?

I think you need a section break between appendices. The numbering should restart after a section break, as opposed to a page break.

Did it. Heading 1 will roll from A to B. It's the heading 2, 3, etc which I can't get to be A.1 and so on.

Had to go get my laptop and try it. This should work

click “multi-level list”.

Select “define new multilevel list”

Pick your number style - Level 1 will need to be the letter, level 2 will be numbers

Find “Include level number from:” - and select “Level 1”
