The tutorials are already on the web, Lester. You may have to search for them a
bit. I no longer have the URLs. Maybe others on this list do.
And as another poster replied, it's essential that everyone who touches a Word
doc knows how to handle the numbering (and uses the same Word template).

An excellent description of the "right" way to use Word's autonumbering
is available courtesy of Shauna Kelly. Here's the page on outline
numbering, but she has similar pages on bullets, single-level lists, and
many other Word features.
http://shaunakelly.com/word/numbering/OutlineNumberi
I highly recommended using Sequential fields for numbering in Word. Read
the one page in Word's help on Sequential fields. Then use the Tech-Tav
macros (free) to quickly insert them.
