Include multiple outline numbers on a single line
 

In an outline numbered list (outline numbered list: A list created to apply a hierarchical structure to any list or document. A document can have up to nine levels, and Microsoft Word does not apply built-in heading styles to the items in the list.) created with the "Article I" style, you can include more than one numbering level on a single line by using the LISTNUM field.

Article I.
Section 1.01

1.1
1.1.1
  1. On the Format menu, click Bullets and Numbering, and then click the Outline Numbered tab.
  2. Double-click the list format that begins with Article I.
  3. Type the article text you want, and then press ENTER.
  4. To add Section 1.01, click Heading 2 in the Style box.
  5. To create the second outline level number on the same line — for example, 1.1 — click Field on the Insert menu.
  6. In the Categories box, click Numbering.
  7. In the Field names box, click ListNum.
  8. In the List name box, click LegalDefault, and then click OK.
  9. Type the text for the list item, and then press ENTER.
  10. To insert the next number at the same level — for example, 1.1.1 — press TAB to line up the numbers vertically, and then repeat steps 5 through 9.
  11. Type the text for the list item, and then press ENTER.

    To make the lines of text and numbers look the same as each other, you can apply the same formatting to the characters in each line of text.
