Numbering Headings

It’s a commonly accepted practice to number each heading level in certain long documents so that when the document is being reviewed or is under discussion at a meeting, it’s easy to refer to the relevant sections. Word uses the outline-level setting for each style as the basis for the numbering hierarchy.

Number the Headings

  1. Verify that you’ve applied the correct styles to all the headings.

  2. Click in the first heading paragraph.

  3. On the Home tab, click the Multilevel List button, and click one of the heading-numbering schemes.

  4. Verify that your document headings are numbered correctly. If you don’t like the look of the numbering scheme, click the Undo button on the Quick Access toolbar.

Tip

Tip

If a paragraph that you want to number as a heading isn’t included when you use a heading-numbering scheme, you haven’t assigned it the proper outline level. To correct this problem, you can either modify the style and assign it the correct outline level, or switch to Outline view, click in the paragraph, and select the outline level on the Outlining tab.
