I've started writing my thesis, and I'm struggling with the section numbers in Word. I've created Heading 1, Heading 2 styles etc, but I dunno how to make them numbered. When I set up a numbered list and then apply the headings to it the list numbers vanish! Obviously when I apply the heading style it tells it that it's a heading, not a list. Does anyone know how to set up a list for headings, with different fonts at each level, and no indent? Or does anyone know of an online guide I can look at? Thanks.

Have you tried going to Format - "Bullets and Numbering", and choosing "Outline Numbered"?
