I am trying to write a contract with a custom numbered list that I have created. I looks similar to this:
1. Section Heading
1.1. Subsection Heading
(a) Lettered long contract term that could stretch to several paragraphs
(i) Roman Numerals long sub-term
1.2. Subsection Heading
2. Section Heading
I need to be able to generate a table of contents that includes the Section Heading and Subsection Headings, but not the (a) and (i) levels. Is there a way I can exclude those items from the table of contents? I've created a style with my custom outline list format associated with it and then designated that style to be included in the table of contents. It is of course pulling in all levels list.
If I can fix this, it would allows me to easily write (and later edit) this document – otherwise I fear I might be going about this in the wrong way and shouldn’t put everything into a big outline list. Almost every word in the document will be in the above "list" format, so it would be incredibly handy just to tab or shift+tab my way through the levels when writing.
Can anyone advise how I should approach this?
I have two priorities, I need to be able to edit the document (adding and removing sections at all levels from Section Heading to Roman Numerals Heading and I want the numbering to be automatically updated. Secondly, I need to ensure that the indents are consistent and as automated as possible.
Ideally I would like the “Section Headings” to be bold and all-caps. I can make this change manually if necessary though since I only seem to be able to make the number itself bold within the custom numbered list formatting.
Any help or advice much appreciated!
