Heading Numbering Does Not Copy to Another Document

ID: Q110399

The information in this article applies to:

• Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

SYMPTOMS

In Word 6.0 for Windows, heading numbering cannot be copied from one document to another. If you format a heading in a Word document with the Heading Numbering command and then copy it to a new document, the numbering is lost, although the heading formatting is preserved. (To access the Heading Numbering command, open the Format menu.)

RESOLUTION

To correct this problem, reapply the heading numbering (choose Heading Numbering from the Format menu), or save the original document and then insert it in the new document (choose File from the Insert menu).

MORE INFORMATION

Paragraph marks and section breaks contain most types of formatting in Word. Usually, if paragraph marks and section breaks are copied from one document to another, the formatting also carries over to the second document. This is not the case with heading numbering.
