Wow! I can't believe how good you are at numbering scenarios. This lesson was mind-boggling. Despite my second go at this lesson, I'll need a lot more practice before it sinks in. Thank you Jason. You are a numbering Guru.
Sorry Mustafa. This question slipped through the cracks. I only stubled across it just now. Level 1: Place cursor in *Enter formatting for number* box. *Number style for this level* = A, B, C *Link level to style* = Heading 1 Level 2: Place cursor in *Enter formatting for number* box. *Include level number from* = Level 1. Type a dot. *Number style for this level* = 1, 2, 3 *Link level to style* = Heading 2 Level 3: Place cursor in *Enter formatting for number* box. *Include level number from* = Level 1. Type a dot. *Include level number from* = Level 2. Type a dot. *Number style for this level* = 1, 2, 3 *Link level to style* = Heading 3 Back in your document, simply apply Heading 1/2/3 as appropriate and your numbering will take care of itself. All the best. Jason
This man is a legend. I reached out to him after watching all nine of his videos covering multi-level lists in Word, none of which covered using the 1, 1.1, 1.1.1, and 1.1.1 styles for BOTH headings AND paragraphs. (LOL - probably because the same document has, e.g. Under heading 1: paragraphs 1.1, 1.2 etc, and then followed by headings 1.1, 1.2 etc - but it’s what my client wanted). He replied and said, leave it with me - and he’s done it! And sent me a template to use. BRILLIANT!
THIS WAS THE BEST MULTILEVEL LESSON I WATCHED SO FAR!! I have two lists withing one heading and I was beating myself up on how to restart them. Now I know! Thank you for the strategy!!
Thanks. I thought it was about time I made videos showing solutions for user questions rather than just include them in the troubleshooting guide. Glad you liked the video.
Hello Jason, what if I wanted my Heading 1 to repeat after the level 6 reset? Think a contract for instance, 1st first page is scope of work, 2nd page is insurance requirements, 3rd page is Terms and Conditions. All needing to start with Heading 1. I noticed I can’t edit the heading one to “reset after level x” as it is greyed out and is only an option after level 2. Appreciate all your information so far, would love help with this. Thanks!!!
Hi @claraschronicles8428, yes the top level does not have that reset option and you cannot set up level 1 to reset after level 6 because the numbering only cascades one way. I have 2 options for you. 1. This simplest way is, once the numbering is all set up, right-click each heading in the doc that you want to reset and choose 'Restart Numbering'. 2. The more technical way is to move all your current numbering down one level, so Level 1 becomes Level 2, Level 2 becomes Level 3 etc. which frees up Level 1. Link Level 1 to a style and modify the advanced settings of that style to switch 'Hidden' checkbox on. When I use this method I always set the font colour to red so I can see it clearly when I need to. Click the pilcrow (the backward P on the home ribbon) to view hidden text. Modify Level 2 so that it has it resets after Level 1. Use Heading 1 (which acts like a hidden reset) at the top of each major section. The hidden attribute means that it consumes no height on your page (except when the pilcrow is switched on). This approach gives you control. Hope this helps.
Hi L. Microsoft limits you to 9. In the nicest possible way, if you think you need more than 9 levels, you're approaching it wrong or making it overly complex.
@@JasonMorrell I just finished listen to amost all your videos on Multi level lists! Im just listening to the FAQ video now. I think I got some insight and strategies to work around. I have to do precisely the video you did on english-spanish~ A question: Is it possible to have more than one multi-level list in a single document? Like having a defined list linking to spanish 1~5 styles and having another differently defined multilevel-list for english 1-5 styles: Is it posible that word recognizes 2 different lists going on a same document? Also a different question, I have 2 lists (like i said spanish and english) but suddently there is one paragraph from the spanish list being considered as the english list. Now, after watching your videos I am going to set styles and attribute the right styles and that should solve the problem. But would there be other way I can let word know that a certain paragraph belongs to a certain list(not the one automatically attribuited)?
While you are limited to 9 levels in a multilevel list, you can have multiple lists, called List Styles,. These lists are independent which means that you cannot use a second list as an overflow from another list because you reached your maximum of 9. However you can have 2 lists with, say, 5 levels in each. These lists will live happily side-by-side in the same document, with no dependency on each other. The way you set them up is slightly different. 1. Click the *Multilevel List* icon on the Home ribbon as before. Instead of choosing ' *Define New Multilevel List* ', choose ' *Define New List Style* '. 2. Name the List Style. 3. Click the *Format* button in the bottom left corner and chose Numbering. 4. Define your number levels, as before. 5. Click OK, then OK again. 6. Repeat steps 1-5 for additional List Styles that you wish to create. I would suggest having all of your styles (e.g. JM-List1-Header-1/2/3, JM-List2-Header1/2/3 etc.) created beforehand so they are ready to link to your number levels when you define your List Styles. Notes: 1. All styles appear in the Styles Pane and (if added) the Styles Gallery on the Home ribbon. 2. When using List Styles, stop using ' *Define New Multilevel List* '. Only use ' *Define New List Style* ' (for new List Styles) or right-click a List Style in the gallery and choose *Modify* (for existing List Styles). Happy listing!

Cheers Pandora. It all takes time but you'll get there! Have a great weekend.

Level 1:
Place cursor in *Enter formatting for number* box.
*Number style for this level* = A, B, C
*Link level to style* = Heading 1
Level 2:
Place cursor in *Enter formatting for number* box.
*Include level number from* = Level 1.
Type a dot.
*Number style for this level* = 1, 2, 3
*Link level to style* = Heading 2
Level 3:
Place cursor in *Enter formatting for number* box.
*Include level number from* = Level 1.
Type a dot.
*Include level number from* = Level 2.
Type a dot.
*Number style for this level* = 1, 2, 3
*Link level to style* = Heading 3
Back in your document, simply apply Heading 1/2/3 as appropriate and your numbering will take care of itself.
All the best. Jason
Thank you so much Jason, really useful! Btw, just so you know, the templates don't show on the webpage.

Thank you for your kind words Kaz. I love a challenge!
Legend is right! He's amazing.
@@pandasrover The best Multilevel list series I watched so far!! This comment should be pinned, he is indeed amazing!

Great to hear. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Jason. Thank you for these brilliant videos. They are so helpful and I'm now able to be more helpful to other people in my work.
Glad you like them!
That's a great new trick to have up one's sleeve. Thanks a lot!
Glad it was helpful.
Very powerful solution. As always you are the best ❤
Thanks. I thought it was about time I made videos showing solutions for user questions rather than just include them in the troubleshooting guide. Glad you liked the video.
Whaoo, excellent work
Thank you and you’re welcome.
Excellent, thanks!
Thank you for being the first commenter on this video. I'm glad it helped.
Thank you!
Welcome.
I love you alot. I learned a new thing ❤❤❤❤❤
Cheers Ahmad. Glad to help
Thanks for the great tutorial Jason. How can I get a Heading 1 number without a period after it? So, 1 instead of 1. Thx in advance for the feedback.
In the number definition dialog, select Level 1, then delete the '.' in the 'Enter formatting for number' box.

What if I need to go past your 9 headings and paragraphs? Do you have a video on that?
Hi L. Microsoft limits you to 9. In the nicest possible way, if you think you need more than 9 levels, you're approaching it wrong or making it overly complex.
@@JasonMorrell oh-oh T_T I need more than 9 levels. I am transcribing a file into word, the original has more then 9 levels. :/
Sorry, can't change the limit imposed by Microsoft! Work within it. Adapt your approach.

4. Define your number levels, as before.
5. Click OK, then OK again.

I would suggest having all of your styles (e.g. JM-List1-Header-1/2/3, JM-List2-Header1/2/3 etc.) created beforehand so they are ready to link to your number levels when you define your List Styles.
Notes:
1. All styles appear in the Styles Pane and (if added) the Styles Gallery on the Home ribbon.
2. When using List Styles, stop using ' *Define New Multilevel List* '. Only use ' *Define New List Style* ' (for new List Styles) or right-click a List Style in the gallery and choose *Modify* (for existing List Styles).
