Hierarchical Outline numbering for Microsoft Word Documents

Рет қаралды 413,531

8 жыл бұрын

Need help with word numbering format 1.1 1.2 1.3 ? Learn how to apply hierarchical outline numbering for Microsoft Word Documents in a way that perfects the formatting of technical documentation and proposals. Also a life saver for thesis/school papers! Headings will have the format 1 Title, 1.1 Subtitle, 1.1.1 Next Level Subtitle, etc. and your headings will auto number the right way. I also discuss why you would use this format, and in what situations you would NOT use this format. At the end, I added some bonus content on how to leverage the outline numbered headings to make a table of contents, and how to handle headings for Appendix sections.
I would really appreciate your feedback. I have a goal to bring more than just "how to steps" to my audience, but to also really explain the WHY aspect of using certain features of Microsoft Office. Thanks for watching!

This video is brilliant. I've been struggling to create some templates for about a week now, and kept hitting the problem of 1.1 becoming 1.1.1, then 2.1.1 , then 3.1.1 while still under the 1.1 heading! Your work is the only piece that told me about the section that I had to use where one includes the previous level, working backward not forward. You have saved my bacon and I'm very grateful.

This is the first guidance I have seen which shows me how to do it (onscreen example), uses enough jargon and not too much, and is really really helpful. The stuff on the microsoft site is crap. Lots of videos are crap. This is magic. Thanks, Michael (much older post-career student!)

I know this is such an old video, but boy was it a GREAT video. Over 10 years ago I wrote my thesis and I admit this was one of the more challenging bits when formatting the document. The reason I like this video is because it shows how to link the multi level lists to the STYLES. All the videos I watched just showed how to create multi level lists when where I was really getting undone was the element of LINKING with the styles. Just BRILLIANT.

Great tutorial. Very clearly explained. I usually work from existing documents or templates which already have the heading numbering in place, but recently needed to edit a document from an outside source which had broken headings and styles. Hence, had to work out how to get the heading numbers in place. Unintuitive is the understatement of the year. As a long time Word user I'm pleased you mentioned that Microsoft changed the way this was done in 2010. In my view they made this common requirement virtually dysfunctional. Microsoft really need to add this in as a standard heading format in some way. Anyway, thanks for the clear explanation.
