Adding a new level of numbered heading to existing template

Can anyone tell me how to add new heading styles to an existing template? For example, I have a template with 5 levels of numbered headings, down to, say, 1.2.2.3.1. But now I need to add Section 1.2.2.3.1.1 and there is no heading built in for that level. The existing heading 6 is something else that is not connected to this numbering system. I know how to build a new template from scratch in Word 2010, but I have no idea how to modify this existing one and am also confused about some of the changes in Word 2013. Does anybody know how to do this?

Answer

You have basically two options:

  1. Select some other style (built-in or user-defined) to use for the sixth level and link it to Level 6 in the Define New Multilevel List dialog.
  2. Select all the Heading 6 paragraphs and apply a user-defined style that matches their formatting. Then link Heading 6 to Level 6 in the multilevel list.

I would strongly recommend Option 2.
