This is a relatively straightforward outline. Set up the Outline numbering as follows (this is just an example). Go to Tools>Outline Numbering and select the Numbering page (tab). You will notice on the left the levels 1-10 (select the one you want to work on first). Associate to each level a paragraph style, select the numbering style, how many levels before should be visibile, separator and what to write before and after. So for your .doc: - your level one (associated, for example to paragraph style heading 1) should be numbered as A, B, C, .. - your level 2 (associated to paragraph style heading 2) should be numbered as 1,2,3 and show one sub-level. - etc... Some people prefer to create a style Heading 0 for the letters so that they can then use Heading 1, Heading 2 and Heading 3 for the numbered items and never display the letter. e.g Part A 1 1.1 1.2 2 Part B 1 2 2.1 2.1.1 etc... Again, this can be easily set up in the Outline numbering, but if you do so, remember to also adjust the Table of Contents to take into account of the heading 0 you introduced and not to make visible too many previous levels. Unfortunately I have often experienced problems with importing/exporting outline numbering to/from MS Office Word and I had to re-adjust the sequence of headings. Let me know if it helps (or if, as I suspect) I missed something important). Cheers, Michele
