The information in this article applies to:
When you use one of Word's numbering formats and you specify a leading 0 (zero) as Text Before, the leading 0 is added to each numbered item. In other words, if you have more than nine numbered items, the tenth item will have a leading 0. This problem occurs with numbering, multilevel numbering, and heading numbering.
By design, when you specify Text Before, Word adds that text before each numbered item within that level. If you select the Number option in the Include From Previous Level section, the text before will be added to the next level. This behavior also occurs when you specify Text After.
To locate these options, click Bullets And Numbering (or Heading Numbering) on the Format menu, select a numbering format on either the Numbered tab or the Multilevel tab, and then click Modify.
If you are using Heading Numbering, replace it with multilevel numbering. (When you use one of the predefined Heading Numbering formats, the modifications that you make to the numbering format affect the entire document.) To workaround this problem, do the following:
1. Insert a continuous section break after the ninth numbered item.
2. With the insertion point in the paragraph below the section break,
click Bullets And Numbering on the Format menu.
4. Select one of the predefined number formats.
5. Click OK.
The tenth item will number correctly.
