Hi Felicity,
FW> I'm trying to set up a series of heading numbers, so that
FW> they work as follows:
FW> Chapter 1. 1.1 1.1.1 1.1.1.1 etc
FW> I've tried to do this using Modify Heading Numbering, but
FW> when I put "Chapter " in the Text Before box, all of the
FW> headings say "Chapter " in front of the appropriate numbers.
This is a problem with the way Microsoft believes Headings and 
Numbering should be related. Unfortunately most of the rest of 
the world (as far as I can tell) doesn't... :-( In my view, this 
has been an architectural anomaly in Word since v1!
FW> Is there a way to do this?  I'm in 6.0, but any Win95
FW> solutions would also be handy.
You can't get the the exact layout you showed using Heading 
numbering. You can do it using AUTONUMLGL fields in the headings 
- then just add the word "Chapter" to the Heading 1 style...
Hope this helpz
