Chapter Numbering

Specifies the number format and the hierarchy for chapter numbering in the current document.

To access this command...

Chapter numbering is linked to paragraph styles. By default, the "Heading" paragraph styles (1-10) are assigned to the corresponding chapter and outline number levels (1-10). If you want, you can assign different paragraph styles to the outline number level.

If you want numbered headings, use the Tools - Chapter Numbering menu command to assign numbering to a paragraph style. Do not use the Numbering icon on the Formatting toolbar.
