Word: Create and Format MA Thesis Heading Styles and Numbering - Chapters and Subsections

Hi,
I have a problem with writing an MA thesis
The division of labor should look something like this:

1
1.1
1.2
1.3
1.3.1
1.3.2
2.
2.1
2.2
2.3
2.3.1
2.3.2
3
e.t.c.

The problem is that each of the headings has its own style and numbering.
At this point, it looks like this:

1
1.1
1.2
1.3
1.3.1
1.3.2
2.
1.4
1.5
1.6
1.3.3
1.3.4
3
e.t.c.

So instead of adjusting to what is above (subsection to chapter) word decided to continue counting. Anyone know the solution to this problem?

Set numbering value / Start new list.
Opt for a uniform numbering style.
You have 1 and 3 without dots and 2 with dots.

Of course, all numbers are dotted. When I set a new numbering value, word wants me to change it for the whole style and then it comes out e.g.
1.
2.1
2.2
2.3
1.3.1
1.3.2
2.
2.4
2.5
2.6
1.3.3
1.3.4
3.

The subsection numbers should also have dots at the end. Like all of these. Uniformity and accuracy.
Have you tried what I wrote about?

If you fail to do this, attach the file.
Then let me know which Word you have?

There are dots everywhere, I tried what you advised and the effect is as described before.

Make the composition in latex, then you have no problems with the list of the text.

There are also no problems in Word, and you offer him a program that he certainly does not know.

rasdwaczy you read ?

How to put a .doc file here?

Via add an attachment.

A briefing

See if that's what you meant.

You could write - step by step - how you did it

I am looking for help on this topic myself. I've already learned to create it, everything works with one but. Multi-level lists are beautifully created without any problems, but there is something wrong with the numbering of the drawings. For the work of Eng. I am making a project and to describe it I had to insert countless photos. That's why I absolutely must have everything done automatically.
I create multi-level lists, e.g.
1. Chapter 1
1.1 Under Chapter 1
1.2 Under Chapter 2
1.2.1 XXX
I put drawings into created subsections and I have to have a chapter and an illustration number in a given subsection in their name.
It is known that you have to choose the heading from which the given numbering is to be started, so for chapter one you have to choose the first heading, under chapter 1, and under chapter 2, the second heading, and XXX - the third heading.
At the moment when I do this, all the numbering of the figures, regardless of which chapter of the subsection they are not in, take the numbering of the last header set.
Please help :(

"fascinated" in your configuration also doesn't work: /

Too much writing - sorry I don't have time for this.

You probably haven't noticed that I solved one of the problems, not all of the Word problems?

Here you have really overdone it :D

Attach the file, if I have time, I'll have a look, but probably not sooner than tomorrow.

I understand that you have only solved one problem , I just wanted to check if this is also going to happen in the file you modify . I don't know, maybe there are some settings in the options and something needs to be changed there? And when it comes to these drawings, I just have a lot of them . In the file I described more or less how he captures an illustration and what happens to it all. I'm going to the university today and I will go to the gentleman with whom I had the Office package in my first year, maybe he will tell you what is going on . If the problem is solved, I will describe everything in detail and post it on the forum.

Check if you meant it.

That's exactly what I meant , you are master. Is it simple enough for you to describe? I would be grateful...

Play around with the multi-level checklist. if you have
1. Headline 1
1.1 Headline 2
1.1.1 heading 3

then choose this layout from the proposals that pop up after clicking "multi-level list"

then point to all the headers that have not changed despite your change, for example:
1 xyz
1.1 xyz
1.2 xyz
2 xyz
1.3 xyz

in this case you hover over 1.3 and click again in styles style heading 2

after pressing it should change to 2.1 - and after the problem :)

oki and now you help me how to make subsections at work have separate numbers
explaining now I have:
And the introduction
1 xyz
1.1 xyz
1.2 xyz
1.2.1 xyz
2 xyz
3 xyz

II Development
4 xyz
5 xyz

and I want to have:
And the introduction
1 xyz
1.1 xyz
1.2 xyz
1.2.1 xyz
2 xyz
3 xyz

II Development
1 xyz
2 xyz

who knows the cure for this disease?

I don't know if that's what you mean, but compared to what I mean, it's a porridge with milk. You do so

1.
2.
3.
4.no and here, if you want to start with one, you right-click 4. and from the right-click menu you choose "start numbering from 1.

And the topic is settled. However, if you would like to go back to the previous list from number 4, you click on it - the number you changed in your case 4. and change it to continue numbering.

As for the problem that concerned my editing of the text, it was very complex and in this post I just asked you to present ways to solve it. In my work, Eng. I needed to use even five six levels (I'm not saying that yours is not like that) and the drawings in individual subsections were to be assigned to these subsections. Believe me, it cannot be done this way. But this post and the help of users on the electrode showed me a path, thanks to which, after many attempts and using advanced tools in WORD, I was able to achieve the effect. Thanks to this, I had everything from the machine, a list of drawings, footnotes, table of contents, etc. As most someone writes, there is no problem, even everything from hand can be numbered. I had 150 pages of the project, including 60 drawings, descriptions, etc., it was impossible to do it with a finger in a reasonable time.

I hope that I helped, if that's not what it was about, I am asking for a verse and I will try to help.

Great - you solved my problem :)

and when it comes to your work, I am glad that you somehow dealt with your problem because the solution above was the solution to my situation - I have no idea how much you would have to combine with 6 levels of headings

I will step on the topic, my problem is similar, but ....

I want to start numbering from 5.1. For this I use the options available under the "right key". And now the most interesting:
Everything is OK on one computer and the numbering can be seen from the header number 5.1. the same file opened on another computer and something like this happens:
1
2
3
4
5
5.1
Word adds the numbering 1-5 itself! How to improve it, if another one is fine (word 2007)

Unfortunately, like everyone here, I have a problem with the numbering.
I will be very grateful for your help.

Just change or redefine the styles for a given header.

Post old, but quite a few people have a problem with it.
We set everything up in styles, whether we create a new style or modify it.
For me, the requirements were: "1. Chapter title - 16 points, bold, protrusion 1.25 cm" between 1 and the title of the chapter, a distance of 1.25 cm, space after the title at 14 points. I created a new style. After the name we have a style type, there I chose: Combined (paragraph and sign). Then I set what I had and set the rest using the Format button. Then I went to Paragraph. There, in the indentation tab and the spacing at the indentations, I gave 0 cm and for the special ones I chose the extension option and there I gave every 1.25 cm. Below I set the spacing after (by entering the appropriate value, I have 14 points). Sometimes you need to set the spacing before instead of after After accepting it, I chose Format again and clicked Numbering here. There I chose the appropriate option (you can always define your own) - it is important to set dots after subsections, because it is often forgotten.
The same problem appeared as with the author of the post.
I clicked on a multi-level list, then chose the option with headers, where the list looks like this:
1. Headline 1
1.1 Headline 2
1.1.1 Header 3
e.t.c.
Of course, my styles were called differently, so I clicked again on the multilevel list and there I gave Define a new multilevel list (it defined me on the basis of this list above). Thanks to this, it was enough to click on the number on the left (from 1 to 9) and there on the right, next to the Assign style to level option, choose your own style (I don't remember if I did not develop something in this window). It's almost done. There was a problem that the ejection blew me away. So now for each style for the chapter (I had 3) I gave modify and then Format further Paragraph and there I changed these spacing (how to change is described above). By selecting this list it made me different spaces. After these changes, everything is fine for me.
I am uploading my file to prove it works maybe it will help someone.

Thanks to everyone for these headlines, these hints came in handy, good help
