Thread: section heading numbering independent of chapter number

Hi everyone.

I have a document which table of contents looks like this:

1

2
2.1.
2.2.
1.1.1.

3.
3.1.
1.1.2.

the problem is that heading 3 seems to not recognize its superiors.
i have no clue when it happened and since then i fiddled around in the document a lot. i reset the document quick styles but it did not help.

i attached two screencaputeres which I think show the problem:
wrong: from the actual document
right: from a blank test document

in the level menu it should state 'heading 1' and 'heading 2' behind the upper levels (for heading 2 it does). i have however no clue how to solve it. the summarizing text is the same for the working and non working document:

Font: (Default) +Headings, Bold, Font color: Accent 1, Indent: Left: 1,27 cm, Hanging: 0,89 cm, Space Before: 10 pt, After: 0 pt, Keep with next, Keep lines together, Level 3, Outline numbered + Level: 3 + Numbering Style: 1, 2, 3, … + Start at: 1 + Alignment: Left + Aligned at: 1,27 cm + Indent at: 2,16 cm, Style: Linked, Hide until used, Quick Style, Priority: 10, Based on: Normal, Following style: Normal

thank you for any answer!
if you need more info please let me know.

cheers.fred.

Hello merikilpikonna,

could very well be that the document is corrupt. You could try this:

Save the document as a web page.
Close the document
Close Word
Open Word
Open the html version of the document
Save as a word document (may be with a different name)

See if that makes a difference.

Sorry it didn't work for you in this case. It was the best I can offer. Maybe someone else has a better idea.

cheers
