Hi Brett
To do the numbering you want, you need two fields, separated by the full
stop. The field you use is the SEQ field, which just produces a SEQuence of
numbers. You use switches on the fields to control the incrementing and the
formatting. You get to name the sequences. Here I've used Level1 and Level2.
For 1.01: The first number (1, 2, 3, ...) is easy. So your field is { SEQ
Level1 }. Then do the full stop. Then the second level field, with a switch
to force the display of two digits, and another to make sure that it starts
at 1: { SEQ Level2 \# 00 \r 1}.
For 1.02: You want to repeat the existing Level1 number. So: { SEQ Level1
\c }. Then do the full stop. Then the second level field, with the format
switch as before, but without resetting it to 1 (because you want this one
to increment): { SEQ Level2 \# 00 }.
For 1.03: As for 1.02.
For 2.01: As for 1.01
Note that you can't type the {} braces by hand. You must use ctrl-F9 and
type between the braces that Word inserts for you. Once you've typed the
field, use F9 to update it, or ctrl-a F9 to update all fields in the
document. Shift-F9 toggles between the display of a field code and field
result. Or Alt-F9 to toggle all fields between displaying the field code and
field result.
Since inserting these fields would be tedious, it's best to do it once, and
create two AutoTexts. You can then assign the AutoTexts to toolbar buttons
or keyboard shortcuts to insert the fields quickly.
If you prefer not to use fields, you can use Word's built-in paragraph
numbering functionality. See
