Legal Style Numbering

[Mary]

We use Word 2000. When would you check 'Legal style
numbering' in the outline numbering dialog box?

I am teaching a class on legal numbering but don't
understand this option. The Word Legal Numbering manual
says 'this setting allows you to set up numbering formats
that use Roman and Arabic numerals together in the same
list. For example, ARTICLE III changes to ARTICLE 3.'

Why wouldn't you just use arabic numbers to get ARTICLE 3?

Thank you.
Mary

I think they mean for this to be used when you have

roman numbers in your ARTICLE heading but want your
second level heading to be arabic, e.g.:
ARTICLE I
Section 1.1
Otherwise your second level would come out I.1.

Sorry, I don't have an answer to the question you asked, but be sure to warn
your students to apply numbering only through well-set-up styles ... and
teach them how to do it!
