Outline Numbering - more than 9 heading levels?
Brandon Johnson
for a large corporation and trying to organize thousands
of pages and figures into one consistent document. I have
started it in outline format with styles.
To avoid having image, table, and figure alignment and
labeling problems, I would like to create another
subheading with an automatic style that aligns them with
text. This way, I can use the outline labeling to
automatically label all figures of any format.
However, there are 9 built-in headings and I am using all
of them. HOW DO I ADD MORE HEADING LEVELS?
Also, if you have any other ideas how to keep images
perfectly aligned automatically while still keeping them
in the right places in the outline, they will be
appreciated.
Also, if you have any ideas for how to automatically
divide a document into subdocuments by headings and save
them as web pages with a table of contents so that one
can access a certain part of a huge document quickly in
html format, they will be greatly appreciated.

After reading a few posts, it seems that I should be using VBA to do my
numbering and style formatting for a document this long for stability.
(1000+ pages and constantly being changed when finished) Where would I go to
get a start on VBA numbering and styles?

For info on VBA and numbering, go to www.mvps.org/word, click FAQs and then the Numbering tab.
In particular, try this page: http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/Numbering/CureListNumbering.htm
Hope this helps.

You can only have 9 heading levels. Sorry ;-)
But, you might find a work around by investigating Word's captioning. It numbers Figures (or Tables or whatever) as Figure 1, Figure
2, Figure 3 (or Table 1, Table 2, or AnythingYouLike 1, AnythingYouLike 2).
Or, you can tell the Insert | Caption dialog box to display the number of a Heading style before your Figure number. So you get
Figure 1-1, or Figure 1.2.3.4.1 or some such. In the Insert | Caption dialog, click numbering, tick the Include Chapter Number box,
and choose an appropriate style from the drop down box.
That will give you sequentially numbered figures through your document. So if you set it to include Heading 2 numbering, you'd get
Fig 1.1-1, Fig 1.2-2. However, you may want to re-start the figure numbering to get Fig 1.1-1, Fig 1.2-1. If so, you'll see that
Word's captioning isn't magic: it just uses SEQ fields. Look up Word's help on SEQ fields and investigate the \s switch.
By default, Word inserts captions in style Caption, which you can modify as you choose.
If you want to see your captions in Outline View, select a paragraph in Caption style, do Format | Style | Modify | Format |
Paragraph and set the Outline Level to something other than "Body Text". If you set it to, say, Level 3, then you'll see these
paragraphs when you choose to display 3 levels in Outline View. The *only* effects this has are (a) to let you see and manipulate
paragraphs in this style as a particular outline level in Outline View and (b) Word will, by default, include these paragraphs in a
Table of Contents at the appropriate outline level--but you can change this if you choose.
To keep images exactly where you want them, I suggest the following. Insert your image and make sure it is set to be Inline with
text. (To check: click the image. Format | Object or Format | Picture. Choose the Layout tab. Choose Inline with text.)
Put your caption below (or above) your picture. Select both picture and caption and insert them in a frame. Frames are anchored to a
particular paragraph, and you can set the frame's horizontal and vertical alignment with respect to the paragraph. In this way, the
picture and the caption never part company, and the whole thing is anchored to one particular paragraph, so it doesn't lose its way.
For reasons entirely unclear to me, the Insert Frame command is now on the Forms toolbar (the icon with the pale blue splodge).
On the issue of web pages, I'm afraid I can't help, but I'm sure someone else around here will be able to.
Hope this helps.
