Creating a Custom Numbering Scheme

Click Scheme on the Snapnumbers menu to open the Snapnumber Schemes screen.

Custom Scheme: If none of the predefined numbering schemes is right for a particular document, click Custom to create a custom numbering scheme.

Edit Level: Click one of the nine Edit Level buttons to change the appearance of a particular level.

Number Style Box: This box appears after clicking one of the nine Edit Level buttons. Use this box to choose a numbering style for the selected level.

Surrounding Text Box. Use this box to add text around the number (for example: 1., (1), Chapter 1, Section 1, Interrogatory No. 1).

Attach Previous Level(s) Boxes. Use these boxes to attach numbers from previous levels to the selected level. For example, to create the document shown here, click Edit Level 2 and check the Attach previous level(s) box beside Level 1, as shown below.

Restart Numbering After Higher Level. This box is usually selected. Deselect it only if you want numbering to continue sequentially for the level regardless of intervening higher-level numbers. For example, to create the document shown here, click Edit Level 2 and uncheck the Restart after higher level checkbox, as shown below.

Legal Style. Select this box to make a level Arabic style, even if it includes attached levels that are not Arabic. For example, in the document shown here, Level 1 is Roman in the heading (“I.”), but Arabic in the paragraph (“1.1”). To create this document, click Edit Level 2 and check the Legal style (all arabic numbers) checkbox as shown below.

All Caps in Heading Style. Select this box when using a spelled-out number style ("One, Two..." or "First, Second...") to force the word to appear in all capital letters. For example, in the document pictured to the right, the first Level 1 heading is "ARTICLE ONE", and it is created by using Word's Heading 1 style and checking the All Caps in Heading Style checkbox as shown below. If the All Caps in Heading Style checkbox were left unchecked, the heading would be "ARTICLE One". Note that the All Caps in Heading Style checkbox must be used in conjunction with Word's Heading styles (Heading 1, Heading 2, etc.) to take effect.
