= SUMMARY =

To number an outline with a legal numbering style in Microsoft Word versions 4.0 and 5.0, do the following:


 * 1) Make sure you are in Outline view (pressing SHIFT+F2 toggles between Document view and Outline view). In Outline view, a level indicator will display on the status line rather than a page number.
 * 2) If you have previously numbered the paragraphs in the document and did not use a valid legal numbering format (see below for an example of the legal numbering format), execute the Library Number Remove command to remove any previous numbering from the paragraphs.
 * 3) Place the cursor on the first character in the first Level 1 heading in the outline and type the number “1” (one) followed by “.” (a period followed by a space).
 * 4) Execute the Library Number Update command.

= MORE INFORMATION =

This process numbers the outline according to the format in the following example:


 * 1) Level 1 1.1 level 2 1.1.1 level 3 1.1.2 level 3 1.2 level 2 1.2.1 level 3 1.2.2 level 3
 * 2) Level 1 2.1 level 2 2.1.1 level 3 2.1.2 level 3 2.2 level 2 2.2.1 level 3 2.2.2 level 3
 * 3) level 1 3.1 level 2 3.1.1 level 3 3.1.2 level 3 3.2 level 2 3.2.1 level 3 3.2.2 level 3
