In the 'Click level to modify' list, select level 2 and attach style Heading 2. That attaches paragraph style Heading 1 to level 1 of the list style. In the 'Link level to style' box, choose Heading 1.

Modify Heading 2 so it's based on Heading 1. Modify the Heading 1 style so that it is based on "No style".

There are good reasons for using the built-in Heading styles.īefore you begin the numbering, make sure your Heading styles are set up appropriately. That includes the format of the number ( "1" or "a" or "i"), whether the number is preceded by text (eg "Chapter 1" or "Part A"), whether the number includes previous levels' numbers (eg paragraph 1.4.3), and the indents (the distance from margin to number and from number to text). A List Style stores the information about how to number each level.Only the List Style knows that Heading 1 is followed by Heading 2 and that it is followed by Heading 3. A List Style 'groups' those paragraph styles into some order. Word comes with built-in paragraph styles named Heading 1, Heading 2, Heading 3. A List Style creates a set or group of styles.And, each level stores information about how to number text to which that linked paragraph style has been applied. Each level can be linked to a paragraph style.
