Criminy, why didn't I think of this earlier?!' - inventor of the cat door It seems like this should be fairly straightforward, so I must be missing something glaringly obvious.Ĭould someone please steer me onto the right path, please?

I tried building a document in Outline View, but I could not get it to LOOK like a nested outline list inside the normal document (I couldn't get it to do the number trick I wanted). I tried simply defining styles, but I could not figure out how to get one style to recognize its parents and number itself accordingly. I tried using a simple nested list, but I could not figure out how to style each level separately. For each sublevel to recognize its 'parent.' (so, using my example above, 'Red' recognizes that it belongs to 'Potato' AND 'Vegetable' and numbers itself accordingly) To be able to build a Table of Contents using the items in the big nested list, while also having the ToC recognize the same structure and allow me to individually format each level.ģ. To be able to format (font, size, indent, etc.) each level of nesting separately,Ģ. What I'd LIKE to be able to do is to have a document with a nested outline structure like this (with the #.#.# numbering scheme), that also allows the following:ġ. Nested lists I can make no problem, and they're great for data entry because you can just hit the button and it nests one more layer. I browsed around help and a few other links, but I haven't q-u-i-t-e found out how to do this thing (assuming it's possible).
