How can I correctly link nested numbering in Word? Currently it is doing this:
I.
1.
2.
II.
3.
4.
I want this:
I.
1.
2.
II.
1.
2.
I can't find the setting to 'link' it to its parent (and yes, I want roman for the top level).
I/II is 'heading one'1/2/..' is 'heading two'You need to choose a Multi-Level list that includes the heading styles. Then you can right-click on the number to choose the starting value.
Then right-click on the number and choose:
Then you can add Figure and Table captions:
And proof that it works:
Instead of selecting the "Numbering" icon, I selected the down arrow next to it, then "Define New Number Format". I pressed "Ok" on the dialog box that appeared and that allowed me to create numbering without automatically changing the style of the paragraph to "Heading 1".

I'm not sure if you can find similar settings in Word 2003, but in Word 2007 you can make multilevel numbered lists (and assign them to headers later).
First, click the multilevel list button under the Home tab, and go to Define New Multilevel List.
Select '1' under Click level to modify.
Pick the roman number style under Number style for this level.
Make sure Start at is set to
I.Select
2under Click level to modify.Pick the decimal style under Number style for this level.
Set Start at to
1.Check Start list after, and set its value to
Level 1.Result:
