Word has an amazing range of options for automatically numbering your document heading and, if necessary, paragraphs. Even more amazing is my visit to an office last week. I found staff going through a long document, laboriously numbering headings and sub-headings by hand! They been doing this for years and weren’t happy when shown this button on the ribbon, it does the job in seconds instead of an hour or more!
The above is from the Home tab of the Word 2007 ribbon. The same button with the same preset options are in Word 2010, Word 2013 and Word 2016 for Windows. It’s almost the same in Word 2016 for Mac (only the ‘Change List Level’ is missing). Just with the one of the preset options you can autonumber a document like this: There’s all manner of options, just two of them are shown above. They even extend to bullets.
There’s no practical limit to the number of contacts you can add to your Microsoft Outlook for Mac 2011 contacts list. Each time you add a contact record, the list grows. Before long, you may have dozens—or even hundreds —of contacts stored in Outlook for Mac.
The beauty of autonumbering is that you can set it up and let Word do all the drudge work. You’ve probably used the bullets or numbering features already; they are on the buttons to the left of the multi-level one.

But don’t be scared, the multi-level list features are very good and worth trying out.

Numbered Headings The most common form of multi-level numbering is numbering each heading. Text paragraphs aren’t numbering, only the headings. This can be linked to the Heading styles so each heading has a number/bullet added automatically. These are noted in the list gallery with the word heading in the thumbnail. Or go to the Heading Style and change the Format Numbering options: Notice in the style summary it says ‘Numbering Style:’ also ‘Start at’.

Select the text and choose a multi-level style you want. Word will change the text to ‘List Paragraph’ style and give all the text 1 st level numbering.
