SYMPTOMS
When you create a macro to apply page numbers that include chapter numbering, the Level argument does not pick up the correct heading level. For example, the following macro applies page numbers that incorrectly include Heading 2 numbering, not Heading 1 numbering: Sub Main FormatPageNumber .ChapterNumber="1", .Level="1" End Sub When you record the macro, Word specifies the Level consistent with the documentation, for example: Sub Main FormatPageNumber .ChapterNumber="1", .Level="0" End Sub



WORKAROUND
Modify the Level argument so it is equal to the heading level minus 1. For example, to specify a Heading 1 level, the argument is:

.Level = 0



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.



MORE INFORMATION
