Style separator with 2 numbered styles hides 2nd number

[Mike]

In Word 2002 I would like to get two heading styles on the same line, but
cannot retain the numbering for the 2nd style. For example:

I. Lorem Ipsum....
II. Lorem Ipsum
a. Lorem ipsum
b. Lorem ipsum
III. a. Lorem ipsum
b. Lorem ipsum

If I use style separators (or even a hidden paragraph mark), the "a" after
"III" will disappear. If I want this to work (and don't want to enter in
the numbers manually) I have to insert a ListNum field for the 1st and 2nd
levels. Any ideas on a way to get this to work? Or is it simply not
possible? TIA,

Mike

The 'manual' method would be to use an invisible table to sep the
paras yet retain them on the same row.

I found a relatively clean workaround for this (emphasis on relatively). If
you insert a ListNum field, and specify the appropriate outline level (e.g,
says it's level 4) in the field codes, it works correctly. The advantage of
this - although it requires *some* manual formatting - is that it keeps the
numbering scheme.

ps. Make sure to insert the style separator before inserting the listnum
field.
