Reply To: Mixed-format in multi-level numbering

David’s link should certainly help Michele.

For anyone else whose issue is using a mixed format for the numbering style between levels, the ‘solution’ I used was a hidden style to insert placeholder paragraphs to trick the sub-level numbering.

My paragraph styles were:
HI; level 1; format I,II…; number: ^#.^t
HI-0; level 1; small font size, color white; format 1,2,3; number: ^#.^t
H1; level 2; based on HI; format: 1,2,3; number: ^2.^3.^t; ‘continue from previous’, ‘restart numbers…’
H2; level 3; based on H2; format: 1,2,3; number: ^2.^3.^4.^t; ‘continue from previous’; ‘restart numbers…’

Text example is:
I. Roman Header HI
1. Arabic Header HI-0 text is white and small, effectively hidden
1.0 Arabic Sub Header H1
1.1 Arabic Sub Header H1
1.1.1 Arabic sub text paragraph H2 blah blah.
II.Roman Header
2. Arabic Header HI-0 text is white and small, effectively hidden
2.0 Arabic Sub Header H1
2.0.1 Arabic sub text paragraph H2 blah blah.
2.1 Arabic Sub Header H1
2.1.1 Arabic sub text paragraph H2 blah blah.
2.1.2 Arabic sub text paragraph H2 blah blah.

That might be confusing written out there but when you see it, it makes sense and works.
