Setting up multilevel numbering in Word (level 1, level 1.1, level 1.1.1 etc.) can be infuriating, if you don't know how to set it up properly. Many people give up and resort to numbering everything manually.

In this video, I strip everything back to bare basics and walk you step-by-step through how to set up multilevel numbering in Word (from scratch).

You'll discover how to control what numbering to use, dependencies and positioning. You'll see how easy it is to apply the numbering system to existing content and promote and demote text through the different levels.

I finish by linking the numbering to the built in Word styles such as Heading 1, Heading 2 and Heading 3 so that text can be easily numbered at any time and the rest of the document will be renumbered automatically.
