Hierarchical Outline numbering for Microsoft Word Documents
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 фев 2016
- Need help with word numbering format 1.1 1.2 1.3 ? Learn how to apply hierarchical outline numbering for Microsoft Word Documents in a way that perfects the formatting of technical documentation and proposals. Also a life saver for thesis/school papers! Headings will have the format 1 Title, 1.1 Subtitle, 1.1.1 Next Level Subtitle, etc. and your headings will auto number the right way. I also discuss why you would use this format, and in what situations you would NOT use this format. At the end, I added some bonus content on how to leverage the outline numbered headings to make a table of contents, and how to handle headings for Appendix sections.
I would really appreciate your feedback. I have a goal to bring more than just "how to steps" to my audience, but to also really explain the WHY aspect of using certain features of Microsoft Office. Thanks for watching!
Your video is dope! Thought I knew numbering, but you added a whole new "spin" to it. Thanks a 1,000,000! So, so, so much appreciated!
So glad this was helpful to you. Love this comment too - made my morning. :)
What this person said x1,000,000!!
Doing the lord’s work 🎉
It's 4 years latter and your info is still valuable. Thank you
I have been struggling with this process for about 3 months. Very simple, and easy to understand. Thank you very much!
Seven years later, its still a great video. Thanks for sharing with everyone! This video is great!
This instruction is better than anything else I have seen regarding this topic. Your approach is paced just right and there are simple direct visuals that make short work of a topic that can be tedious and confused. Thanks for your effort.
At long last, a tutorial on multi-level numbering that makes sense! Every other 'how-to' I've watched on the subject left me confused. Your video unlocked the mystery by including steps the others left out, and explaining them in a logical order. Thank you, it's much appreciated.
Thank you so much for your kind words!
I am working on my thesis. And I worked hard to number my thesis headings. And I was not successful with that.
Finally I have found what I was looking for.
I am so thankful for you sequenced video.
Much love
Thank you... Just spent hours banging my head against the wall about this
I could never have figured this out in a million years. THANK YOU !!!
So glad this video helped - and thanks for the kind comment!
Great video! You elaborated all the right things perfectly and yet the tutorial was concise and easy to follow. 👍🏼👍🏼
After 8 years i am still taking help from your video. A big thanks
Whosoever you are, May God bless you immensely. I found this really helpful.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for your very kind comment, and may God bless you as well. :)
Currently writing up my thesis now. This video saved me a lot of time! Thank you so, so much!
I followed some videos lost heart along the way all just did an example of chapter 1 leaving you wandering how chapter 2 would get a number on it. Well explained . The best I have seen.
Thank you. The numbering scheme has always been one of the most unintuitive ways of defining multilevel lists, and about time it was revamped. The video make the functionality bearable.
Thank you for showing how to handle the Appendix as you did! I didn't know that deleting the outline number part would survive the Table of Contents update. So glad you demonstrated that!
So glad that part was helpful to you! I love that trick.
This video is brilliant. I've been struggling to create some templates for about a week now, and kept hitting the problem of 1.1 becoming 1.1.1, then 2.1.1 , then 3.1.1 while still under the 1.1 heading! Your work is the only piece that told me about the section that I had to use where one includes the previous level, working backward not forward. You have saved my bacon and I'm very grateful.
I have been there. So glad this helped you. I really appreciate you sharing that with me!
I never comment on videos... But this topic has been driving me crazy forever (apparently since 2010 actually). Thank you for the detailed explanation.
After having seen a few videos on this subject I was still struggling with the numbering. Not anymore since your tutorial was perfect. Exactly what I needed. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much. It clarifies a very messy, awkward, non-intuitive procedure that Microsoft should smooth out :). Great work!
Amazing video, Gina! Have been racking my brains trying to sort out numbered lists in my document since yesterday - you've taught me how to resolve it within 10 minutes! Thank you again

Absolutely brilliant; I have a 15,000 word dissertation and I need to number it and put in a contents page. This is the first guidance I have seen which shows me how to do it (onscreen example), uses enough jargon and not too much, and is really really helpful. The stuff on the microsoft site is crap. Lots of videos are crap. This is magic. Thanks, Michael (much older post-career student!)
This is the most competent tutorial I have ever seen. Thank you very much.
Thanks! 3 years later, but today your help is still great!
God bless you. After watching this video I was able to apply it perfectly in my master thesis. Most Grateful.
This is by far the BEST tutorial I've seen on this topic. I love how thorough yet simple it is. I also love how each step was captured. Thanks a million times over❤
Thank you, thank you, thank you. My heading numbers were missing the steps to link to the previous headings. You don't know how frustrated I was before I found your excellent explanation on how to get it right. I've saved a template with the numbering and your RUclips address for future reference. Thanks again.
Excellent. I have been looking at some videos which have significantly more views than this video, but this is by far the most excellent video I have seen on this topic. Well done!
Very helpful information. Adding numbers to an outline in Word is more complicated than it needs to be. This video provides really clear instructions as to how to do that. Thank you. I was using Word 2016 on a MAC
I have watched several videos on different formatting issues (especially since the upgrades) and this was by far the best one I found, thank you so so much for clarifying my frustration:)
Thank you so much for your kind words, I am so glad it helped!
This is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you very much for making this video! This video has saved me hours of manually adding numbering
Thank you! I am so happy I found your tutorial. I have been struggling with the number list. The trick was working backwards one level at a time. Awesome!
i watched 4 or 5 videos before watching yours and i must say you made me understand the best out of all the other people who taught this. thank you very much!
Thanks, This is really helpful.
Specially when you adapt to someone's messed up document & wonder why things are not working as per your expectations.
Thanks Again ! This really helped me.
Thank you so much - your tutorial is brilliant
Thanks. Been searching how to do this for a while and yours provides the best and easiest tutorial required to get the job done :)
Wow, where have you been all my life? That video was just about as good as it gets! Clear, concise, and very well organized! Thank you so much! I am looking forward to viewing some of your other material! Have a great day.
Great tutorial. Very clearly explained. I usually work from existing documents or templates which already have the heading numbering in place, but recently needed to edit a document from an outside source which had broken headings and styles. Hence, had to work out how to get the heading numbers in place. Unintuitive is the understatement of the year. As a long time Word user I'm pleased you mentioned that Microsoft changed the way this was done in 2010. In my view they made this common requirement virtually dysfunctional. Microsoft really need to add this in as a standard heading format in some way. Anyway, thanks for the clear explanation.
Your tutorial is a great help! Your audio and speech is loud and clear, informative, and not boring at all. Timing
Thanks for your kind words! Thanks also for the subscribe.
My first technical writing exercise was responding to an RFP on an old DEC main frame. It had an APP called WordPerfect. And it was... perfect at least in its multi-level numbering capability. Then, it was like a week later DEC went out of business and up sprouted MicroSoft. I struggled with this need in Word for years, usually reverting to manually setting up the document. Where my first MS Office purchases were Word95 and then Office 2000. They came close at times but never this comprehensive. Though not clearly intuitive. I always figured WordPerfect had patents on the process/technology preventing MS form a clear and intuitive implementation. Thank you very much for this much needed video.
Great video! The whole process is very convoluted and nonintuitive. I have read several written tutorials and couldn't get anywhere. This really cleared things up. Thank you.
This was so clear and well-preseted. It has since saved me a lot of "go back and reformat" time. Many thanks!
thank you for you tutorial, spent couple of hours trying to master these outlined numbering headers
Thank you so much for the tutorial. I wish to have come across your videos long ago and I really enjoyed your teaching. This is crystal clear.
This was extremely helpful. I truly appreciate the help.
Thank you so very much. After watching tens of videos regarding the problem of having a continuation of heading numbers in different chapters, I finally could solve it by watching this amazing video.
Oh thank you, Gina! I was tearing my hair out, oh hasn't Word changed! Excellent video, a great speed to follow and take in, excellent explanation and I'm totally on the same page as you about completing things by showing TOC as well. So glad I came across your video and channel :)
I am so glad I could help! Welcome to the channel and thanks for posting, it made my day!
I struggled with this problem all day until I found your video. Thanks!
Thanks a lot for this!!! After going through many tutorials I found the way to use numbering properly.
😮😮😮OMG I think this is AMAZING!
I just wasted 2 hrs trying to figure the format and style in a document! You managed to help me fix it!
The navigation pane is the 💣!!
Very helpful and concise. Make sure you pick the numbering for different levels.
You got it! That's the key. Thanks for posting.
Thank you! This is one of the most helpful video tutorials I've ever seen, and you explained and showed everything beautifully.
So nice that you went the extra mile to show the TOC
Perfect. I was pulling my hair out trying to get my outline numbering to work, and this solved. Thx a ton.
Glad it helped! And glad you get to keep your hair :)
Very help full, I been searching help on this for days, this is the best, very clear voice, good description

Thanks so much for this. After formatting the styles for the levels I can see how quick it is. Numbering and indents in MS Word has been driving me bonkers for a long time!!!, it was one of the mysteries of the universe ;)
I know the feeling! Thanks for posting such a nice comment and best of luck with your documents.
Has cleared the concept. Was always struggling while making project reports. Thank you. Will get enhanced readibility for the readers. Much Appreciated.
Glad it helped!
With this tutorial, everything is so easy. Thank you
Thank you!! I have spent more time than I want to admit (way more!) trying to 'clean-up' a copy of a State law to provide the advantages of an automatic Table of Contents and automatic renumbering. This is in preparation for an extensive rewrite of our condominium association by-laws. In the process I am trying to master(?) multi-level numbering. The original form of the law state has an archaic, amateur, and confusing numbering scheme. But I want to preserve that scheme so my version is clearly recognized as just a reformatted version of the original.
I am a retired high school teacher and I have learned the importance of identifying what can be ignored and to what you must pay attention when confronted with a large, complicated, and new topic. My lengthy trial and error period with multi-level numbering has provided lots of exercise with that process of ignoring/paying attention regarding the menus for multi-level numbering and formatting. Your video made quite a bit of sense when I first watched it and even more so now that I have greater familiarity with menus and styles. Now I think that linking renumbering to headings/styles will resolve my last hurdle of getting unexplained changes in style when I reset list numbers to 1.
As a teacher of math and science I also found that providing my students with an over arching analogy or a discussion of structure and function provided a context for the nitty-gritty details of press-this-choose-that-menu,-set-this -value-to-X kinds of instructions. I have to believe there are people at MS that have the ability to take the warehouse of features in Word, that are intended to serve a multitude of scenarios, and provide an explanation of structure, function, and interrelationship that would help users glean what they need for their situation.
I have been searching for this for a long time now. Thanks a lot to you for making this video.
Thank you so much for this tutorial! Very clear and easy to follow, with each step explained logically. I now fully understand how to format my document numbering!
Glad it was helpful! And thank you for posting such kind words!
That was great! I'm starting a new job on Monday and I know I'm going to need this skill!
I tried many vedios but this is the most easiest and well explaining with clear voice...
Very good tutorial. You do an awesome job explaining this topic. A natural teacher!!!
Thank you so much for such a polite and yet detailed explanation, that's what I was looking for. Thanks again!
Very good video. I learned a LOT in 12 minutes. You just saved me countless hours I routinely waste each year.
Fabulous tutorial. It is really easy to get lost in the style area in Word. Thanks for providing clear instructions - you got me out of a jam with the user manual I am writing!
So glad to hear! Thank you for posting.
Very helpful. I have been very confused over hierarchical outline numbering in Word, your video was the first to make sense.
hey your a life saver! Years fighting word the wrong way, thanks!
Woman, you just saved my life with video!!!!! Thaaaaanks a million!!!
Bravo! Applause! I have been struggling all day with numbered headings. Of course Microsoft had to make it difficult. Thank you for this. I guess the only thing I wouldn't do would be to backspace over the numbers in an Appendix heading. You explained things perfectly and I can't wait to go back to my document tomorrow and show it who's boss.
That’s right, show that document who’s boss!!! Thank you for your kind words and good luck!
Awesome tutorial! Thank you so much for keeping it short and to the point. Loved the added bonus info at the end.
Thanks so much for your kind words!
This really calmed me down and reduced my blood pressure :-)... Thank you for making it so simple.
My thoughts right now...
