Outline numbered headings possible?

I'd love to use Pages instead of Word for the briefs I have to write for law school. However, there's one formatting issue I can't figure out and is crucial. Is there a way to do outline numbered headings? For instance, I want to have headings throughout the text that look like this:
I. This is a first level heading.
A. A Second Level
1) Third Level
2) Third Level
B. Another Second Level
II. Heading level one again
A. A Second Level
B. And another
I tried setting this up by applying numbering to the Heading and Sub-Heading styles -- and creating a Sub-sub-heading -- but the numbering doesn't reset. So the second level headings under (II) start at C and then D, instead of A and B.
Am I missing something? Thank you.

More about numbered headings and TOCs...
To gather headings numbered using the list format into a TOC, you DO have to create separate styles for each heading level, or Pages will gather the headings into one TOC level. You then have to edit the TOC styles to match your heading levels. Once the TOC is built, you have to indent the sub-heading TOC entries manually. You will probably also have to go to the first heading style in the document body and set it to begin number at 1. I've done it. It works. It just requires some planning ... and leaving the TOC until the absolute last thing you do. If there was a way to attach documents to this message, I'd attach my test file.

How can I customize Microsoft Word Outline Numbered List Templates with AppleScript?

I wrote an applescript to set up a word document with the appropriate styles to give the document an academic setup, much like what Xelatex produces. This is a work in progress and I have a problem.
I have successfully applied the style changes to each Header and I have applied the desired outline numbered list template "list template 5 of list gallery 3", however I would like to add tab stops to each one in order to make each header look slick like in Latex.
To do what I want manually in Microsoft Word 2011 mac I would click Bullets and Numbering, customize, under text position i would check the tab stop box and put in some value (1 cm, for example)
The following is an approximation of the result of running this script on a document with headings 1-9 applied consequently to each line, respectively. Note how they are not even. I think this is an issue with the template, but I want to be able to run this script on any mac without extra template files.
1    Heading 1
1.1    Heading 2
1.1.1    Heading 3
1.1.1.1    Heading 4
1.1.1.1.1    Heading 5
1.1.1.1.1.1 Heading 6
1.1.1.1.1.1.1        Heading 7
1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1Heading 8
1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1 Heading 9
Here is the script so far:

How to continue outline numbering across pages

Using InDesign CS4 on Mac... Sorry for the newb question, but I've got a section on the right-hand side of my document that has outline numbering across a couple pages. I've used separate text boxes for each page. Is it possible to continue this numbering so that 1-5 show up on page 1 and 6-10 show up on page 2? Thanks!

As janine4gg mentions, the link she gives is one to a multi-part series in that blog that helps with all different numbering tasks. I recommend looking at the the first in that series: http://blogs.adobe.com/indesigndocs/2009/04/numbered_lists_part_i_outlines.html.
Using defined paragraph styles that include a numbering style and using a defined numbered list, there should be no issues about where or which side numbered items fall on for numbering to continue correctly.
If you mean that you have a text frame that you use to contain an outline and you need it to break in a certain place, you would put a text frame break in. Type > Insert Break Character > Frame Break. Link the text frame with the break to the text frame you want the text to flow into.

Numbering Headings in the PDF output

RoboHelp HTML 6
To create the RoboHelp project, I imported a Word document,
which created a topic for each heading. Now, besides HTML help, I
want to generate printed documentation in PDF.
How can I create numbered headings (e.g. 1, 1.1, 1.1.4 etc)
in the PDF output?
I do not want to "hard code" these numbering in the headings
itself in the HTML, because inserting a heading would result in
manually updating all subsequent headings as well.

There is only one workaround:
- leave out the heading numbers in RoboHelp
- generate a Word first
- set the outline numbering, which numbers all headings as
required
- update TOC manually in Word
- generate PDF

RH7: Can't get rid of numbers in numbered headings

find a way to automatically remove the numbers from the numbered
headings when the document gets imported. Has anyone done this
successfully?

Outline Numbering in Numbers '09

I want to create a five-level outline numbering in Numbers, but each entry has a 1. Surely I don't have to manually change each entry? it's 300 rows! The data has been copied and pasted from a website, then formatted in Numbers. Can outline numbering be applied, or does Numbers assume you're always creating your Tiered numbers list from scratch?

Apply the 80 Percent Solution
During the design process, if you discover problems with your product design, you might consider applying the 80 percent solution‚ that is, designing your software to meet the needs of at least 80 percent of your users. This type of design typically favors simpler, more elegant approaches to problems.
If you try to design for the 20 percent of your target audience who are power users, your design may not be usable by the other 80 percent of users. Even though that smaller group of power users is likely to have good ideas for features, the majority of your user base may not think in the same way. Involving a broad range of users in your design process can help you find the 80 percent solution.

Display Outline Numbering in a Hierarchical Query (Report)

I have a requirement to show outline numbering of a Financial report.
We hava a hierarchical query for displaying the report so you will see the report is indented.
But what i want is to automatically number the items like this:
1
   1.1
   1.2
   1.3
        1.3.1
        1.3.2
   1.4
2.
    2.1
3..
....Can we utilize Microsoft Word's Outline Numbering / Indents feature? or someone had succesffully implemented this?
Thanks,
Anton

Is this numbering in your TOC or inside for-each group?

Just installed 10.6. Unable to print word document with outline numbering

Just installed 10.6.8. Can't print Word document with outline numbering.

You mean USB HUBs, correct? Not routers.
Yes remove the HUBs and try the drives connected directly to the computer.

Outline Numbered Format in Textbox

Is there a way to have lines in a textbox automatically be numbered like the Outline Numbered feature in Word? I want to create a dynamic form that formats like an outline when typed into a textbox. I am currently using Lifecycle Designer 8.
example:
1. xxxxxx
1.1 xxxxxxxx
1.2 xxxxxxxx
2. xxxxxx
Thnx-
Alex R. Ruiz

First, you don't provide the content that precedes this
sample (you open with a LI tag), but there's way more code than
necessary here.
The main thing in lists is to simply select paragraph
elements and click either the bullet or number toolbar icon. When
you select paragraphs within the list for child formatting, simply
click the increase indent icon. RH tends to end lists and resume
them (as in your example), so you need to manually redo this, such
as:
OL
LI [1. ...]
LI [2. ...]
/OL
OL
LI [a. ...]
LI [b. ...]
/OL
OL start=3
LI [3. ...]
/OL
should be:
OL
LI [1. ...]
LI [2. ...]
OL
LI [a. ...]
LI [b. ...]
/OL
LI [3. ...]
/OL
This results in a truly nested for of list/sublist elements,
which translates very nicely to Word.

Outline number headings

I've ran out of troubleshooting ideas..
My RH Webhelp has regular H1, H2 etc. without numbering. My
Word style sheet has outline numbering:
1. Heading 1
1.1 Heading 2
1.1.1 Heading 3
My output is:
1. Heading 1
Heading 2
Heading 3
It does accept my font, size and etc., but not the numbering.
I've created a test project and started from scratch and it
still doesn't work.
Help!

There's an old article on numbering on my site under Printed
Documentation.
Good luck!

Outline Numbering HTML

Hi All,
Has anyone tried to get outline numbering to work with HTML
or dreamweaver? I'm not even sure if this feature is supported?
I've done the usual trawl around google but only found a
couple of very convoluted methods. I get the feeling that it is not
supported and would rather get some feedback from people who have
tried it.
thanks
Craig

See code below. Works in FF; doesn't in IE. I haven't tried
it in

Can I show outline numbering in a table of contents?

I am using an outline to put together a reference book. This is hte format I'm using:
A. Law and Justice
     1. Law of the Land
          a. Example
          b. Example
     2. Law Publication
          a. Example
          b. Example
B. Government and Civil Officers
     1. Requirements for Civil Leaders
However, the table of contents shows, "Law and Justice" instead of "A Law and Justice" It also does not show the second level number. For example, it shows "Law of the Land" instead of "1. Law of the Land". Does anyone know how I can force the table of contents to show the numbering?
Thanks!

Pages T.O.C. does not include any List numbering and no you can not force it to.
If you want numbering, you'll have to type it manually.
Or use alternative software. Pages (whatever version you are using) is not compulsory.

Is there any way to add a toggled checkbox to pages like you can in numbers. Possibly Applescript?

In numbers you can add a checkbox that users can toggle off and on. This feature is not available in Pages. Can numbers features/tables be imported into pages or possibly added via Applescript? I haven't found a way to do this.

And you won't. Pages is not a Word clone, and does not support inline forms by any means, including AppleScript. LibreOffice does support all manner of controls for inline use — including your checkbox. Chapter 15 in the LibreOffice Writer PDF manual.

Attaching a file to a numbers document - possible?

I am creating a list of serial numbers for different software I have purchased online. Two of the programs I bought online require that you open a file that contains your serial number and when you open it, the serial number automatically gets applied to the program. I assume I could just open that file in text edit and copy down the serial number but it would be easier if there was a way I could "attach" a file to my numbers document. The files are very small. Is this possible?
Thanks you in advance

You can't attach a file to a Numbers document.
With the original structure, if you add such a file in the document's package the app will do a logical cleaning and remove it.
The new structure is simply the old one packed with a specific tool so, we can't compact a package by ourself to rebuild a flatfile.
So, happily, there is no way to use iWork documents as trash for this or that garbage file.

Problem with numbering headings

My headings need to be numbered and center alignment, but for some reason the number is stuck on left alignment while the heading itself stays in the center.
How do I correct this?
