[MS Word 2010] Problem in numbering the heading

[XcL]

Hi all,

I have again a problem with my word. I am using quick style headers. And i am adding new topic title with number. In Main title, there is no problem about numbering but when i come to sub-titles, numbers become 1.1, 1.1.1, etc instead of 2.1, 2.1.1.. I tried to modify it but it doesn't work. So how can i get rid of this problem?

Highlight that paragraph, Right click - Numbering - Set numbering value - Continue from previous list - Advanced value (if required)

Thanks for answering but i also tried it but i dont have samething like you. Also İ dont want to change numbering always when i make a new title. I have MS 2007 in my second pc and numbering is working correctly, but not in this pc with MS 2010. You can say "use your second pc" but i cant use it because there is no patran program installed in 2nd pc.

You need to increase level of numbering - Right click on item - Numbering - Change list level.
In your case - Numaralandırma - Liste Düzeyini Değiştir

To change quick style for Caption - right click it in Styles tab - Modify.

Hehe. Man,no need to translate it to turkish . But about problem, it is still continue. when i make 2.1.1, then rest becomes 3.1.1 and so on although i dont use main title.

When I type 1.1.1 Text and hit Enter, 1.1.2 pops up on a new line.
If I hit Enter twice 1.2 pops up, if three times - 2 pops up.

Are you trying to number them post factum?

maybe it's because i never used 3rd level headings in this document before, could this be the problem ?

skoraden2, welcome to sevenforums!

As soon as word does 6.1.1 instead 5.1.2 press TAB key on your keyboard.
Pressing Tab will get it level deeper.
