Learn MS Word Legal: 2007-16 Introduction Of List Num Causes Temporary Confusion

Introduction Of List Num Causes Temporary Confusion Scenario: Medium sized document. Document is making use of style separator and has various cross references throughout. Attorney has asked that a particular paragraph in the document be cross referenced as well as many other cross reference requests. So far so good? 1. On the hard copy, it says within a particular paragraph, See Section 2.7g(iii). So, they are asking that a cross reference be created that directs the reader to 2.7g(iii) of this document. Since the cross reference is a hierarchy type reference, it will need the selection "Paragraph Full Context" in order to show the entire reference when the (iii) paragraph is selected in the Cross Reference Dialog Box. 2. Within the same mark up, on a particular paragraph, the attorney is asking for a Listnum field code "(a)" to be inserted within a Heading 2 paragraph after the Style Separator. This results in the Heading 3 paragraphs that are directly below, to automatically kick over to (b), (c), (d) etc. 3. When the operator went to Cross Reference 2.7g(iii) as stated on the hard copy, there was no 2.7g(iii) paragraph to be found. But, there was a 2.7h(iii). Being confused, the operator carefully looked over the document searching for where the discrepancy may have originated from. 4. After much searching, it was realized that the introduction of the Listnum above the Heading 3 paragraphs moved those Heading 3 paragraphs up by 1 letter on each separate paragraph. Thus, what used to be 2.7g(iii), was now 2.7h(iii). Knowing how cross references work as well as knowing the effect of the introduction of a Listnum field code enabled us to solve the confusion.
