I type lots of word document and after i finish i try to get word to number them for each chapter eg 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 or ant other format, but i just cant seem to get word to do this.

this is even worse when i try to use diffrent headings to diffrenciate sun titles from main title.

i use the Bullets/bullets and numbering key on the menu. Can anyone advice.

First, type your document. Then what you want to do is to make sure the chapter titles are in Heading format (Highlight text and pull down text format menu to select proper format). Subsections you want to have new numbers (i.e. 1.1.1) put in heading 2 or 3 or however many levels the number should go. For 1.1.1 it would be heading 3. Then highlight the whole document and select Format and Bullets and Numbering.Select Outline Numbered and it sounds like you want option 6. Good luck!

Once you have that formatted then all you need to do is go to where you want the Table of Contents, select Insert --> Index and Tables --> Table of Contents.
