I'm submitting a proposal for a book, and working from a sample proposal supplied by my literary agent. As intelligent documents go, this one ain't got any. Following is a block pasted in from my version of said sample: Chapter 1: Management Studio Navigation Schemas Templates Chapter 2: Integration Services etc. The headings do not correspond to Heading 1 etc. The chapter numbers are literals. As I work out the outline of the book, re-ordering the chapters, etc., I am constantly going back to renumber the 30 chapters to reflect their new position. There has to be a better way! I could redefine Heading 2 to reflect this formatting, but I don't want to do that because Heading 2 is used for its natural purpose elsewhere in the document. What I need is an auto-number style that begins with the word "Chapter" followed by the auto-number, followed by the title I enter, similar to the way that Table and Figure captions work. I have no idea how to achieve this. I guess that I should create a new Style, but that's about the extent of my knowledge of Word. Even though I use Word constantly, I have never bothered to learn the object model beyond its most trivial aspects. At least I know the goal: I want to be able to drag a given chapter and its kids to a new location in the list, and have all the chapters renumber themselves, same as Heading 2s would do. Any suggestions greatly appreciated. TIA, Arthur
