On the Home tab, go to the Paragraph group.

Now, here’s where you have to really concentrate and follow the instructions exactly as it’s here where it can all go pear-shaped: Step 2: Set up the Appendix List style and the numbering settings for each of the levels

Set the following paragraph to the body text style you usually use.

Apply some basic formatting to these styles - font family, font size, bold, paragraph alignment, left indentation (I used 0 cm), hanging indent (I used 3.5 cm to allow for the length of the word ‘Appendix’), tab (I set the left tab position to 3.5 cm).

Create three new styles for the Appendix headings (I called mine Appendix H1, Appendix H2, and Appendix H3).

The following steps assume you already know how to create a new style in Word: Step 1: Set up the Appendix heading styles You can set this up for a single document, or, better, set it up in your template.

Optional: Modify the TOC to display the Appendix heading levels.

Test by applying the Appendix heading styles to some text.

Set up the Appendix List style and the numbering settings for each of the levels.

There are four broad steps in this procedure: They also wanted the three levels of Appendix numbering to display in the Table of Contents (TOC). Naturally, this was to be a separate numbering sequence to that used for Headings 1 to 5. In other words, outline numbering similar to that we use in the main body of the template, but with the word ‘Appendix’ prefacing the numbering. This is not a simple procedure and requires you to follow the steps exactly, so turn off all other distractions (Twitter, Facebook, emails) otherwise you might miss a step and that could well make it not work. These instructions are for Word 2007, but they should work similarly in Word 2010.

One of the challenges I got the other day was to add second and third levels to the existing Level 1 Appendix headings in the client’s template.Īfter some trial and error, I got it to work.
