We recently upgraded all the office machines to 2013 from 2007 and I'm finding the new automatic numbering doesn't work like it used to.
First, I used to be able to set the paragraph alignment (indent and tab) on the first numbered paragraph so that all subsequent paras followed the same alignment. I can't see how to do that anymore and now I'm having to manually change the alignment for each para.
Secondly, we use three level numbering in legal documents at work, for instance, in a Chapter 1 there will be various major headings and subheadings and so the numbering would start 1.1.1, 1.1.2, 1.1.3 and then when there is another major heading within Chapter 1 the numbering would change to 1.2.1, 1.2.2, 1.2.3 etc, etc. I use 'define new number format' to change the numbering each time. The problem is, rather randomly, I can use automatic numbering OK for a few paras and then for some reason it won't number a para and whatever I do doesn't seem to work. Even our IT people can't fathom whats going on. You used to just be able to backspace a para onto the tail of another para which already had automatic numbering, then hit 'return' and your para would have the correct numbering too, but in 2013 backspace just takes out the numbering. I've tried to highlight several paras at once then click on the numbering I want but it numbers one or two and doesn't number others! Or, it will put a new number (i.e. a number starting at 1 again) below the paras I have highlighted.
Can anyone help please?
Thanks.
