Answers:
Word的段落编号有时会变得混乱。就在你认为自己有条理的时候，编号开始做傻事。我们用来组织和协调段落编号的机制是一种列表样式。列表样式协调。它不执行格式化文本的实际工作。我们将其留给段落样式。
所以，你需要：
a List Style as the co-ordinating mechanism for the numbering, and
a paragraph style for each heading level (Word allows, actually requires, 9 levels).
列表样式实际上做了两件事。列表样式创建一组或一组样式。Word带有标题为Heading 1，Heading 2，Heading 3的内置段落样式。但它们之间没有任何联系。他们碰巧分享了相似的名字。列表样式将这些段落样式“分组”为某种顺序。只有列表样式知道标题1后面是标题2，然后是标题3.在任何列表样式中有9个级别。列表样式存储有关如何为每个级别编号的信息。这包括数字的格式（“1”或“a”或“i”），无论数字是否以文本开头（例如“第1章”或“A部分”），该数字是否包括以前的级别数字（例如第1.4.3段），
使用内置标题样式有充分的理由。
在开始编号之前，请确保正确设置了标题样式。
修改标题1样式，使其基于“无样式”。修改标题2，使其基于标题1.修改基于标题2的标题3.依此类推。不是每个人都这样做，但我发现它很有用，因为Word的样式级联的格式。
现在，修改每个标题样式的段落设置，以使左缩进为0，并将特殊缩进设置为（无）。即使你希望你的标题从左边距缩进，即使你想要一个悬挂缩进，也要这样做。为什么？因为对于轮廓编号样式，我们将在设置编号时设置段落缩进和悬挂缩进（如果有）。
要创建列表样式，请在“主页”选项卡上的“段落”组中，单击“多级列表”菜单。从菜单中选择Define New List Style在Define New List Style对话框中（图3），执行（仅）两件事：
Give your list style a name.
Hint: Give it a plural name. That makes it clear that this is a list style that's controlling more than one paragraph style. And, give it a name directly related to the paragraph styles you're going to use. We're going to use paragraph styles Heading 1, Heading 2, Heading 3 etc. So I suggest that you name the list style as Headings.
On the Format menu, click Numbering.
我们现在位于Modify Multilevel List对话框中（图5）。列表样式是我们将使用的整个“集合”段落样式的协调机制。所以我们在这个对话框中设置了所有级别的编号。
要设置编号：
In the Modify multilevel list dialog, click the More button.
Attach the Heading paragraph styles to the 9 levels in the list style. To do that:
In the 'Click level to modify' list, select level 1. In the 'Link level to style' box, choose Heading 1. That attaches paragraph style Heading 1 to level 1 of the list style.
In the 'Click level to modify' list, select level 2 and attach style Heading 2. And attach Heading 3 to level 3, Heading 4 to level 4 and so on.
Now we tell Word about the numbering itself for Level 1
In the 'Click level to modify' list, click level 1.
Delete anything in the 'Enter formatting for number" box.
If you want the numbering to start with some text (eg to number a paragraph as "Chapter 1" or "Section 1") then enter the text including any space in the 'Enter formatting for number' box. Leave the insertion point after your text.
From the Number style for this level list, choose the kind of numbering you want.
Set up numbering for levels 2 to 9.
In the 'Click level to modify' list, choose Level 2.
Delete anything in the 'Enter formatting for number" box.
If you want to include a previous level's numbering, then use the 'Include level number from' box. If you want punctuation after each level, add it into the 'Enter formatting for number' box as you go.
For example, for Level 2, I might want the numbering to be "1.1". That is, I want the Level 1 number and the Level 2 number. So, from the 'Include level number from' box, I choose 'Level 1'. Then I type a full stop (full point, period, whatever). Then I choose from the 'Number style for this level' box.
You have to do each previous level separately. By the time you come to do Level 9, if you want paragraphs numbered 1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1, you need to add Level 1, Level 2, Level 3 etc, all the way to Level 8. This can get tedious, but hang in there!
From the Number style for this level list, choose the kind of numbering you want for the current level.
Repeat for each of levels 3 to 9. If you don't want numbering for a level, leave the 'Enter formatting for number' box empty.
