You can use auto numbering in headings and apply it across different pages by following these steps:
Select your text and change it in the top panel from Normal to Heading. You can choose any type of heading that suits your needs. For example, select Heading 2
Repeat this process for text on a different page.
Next, navigate to the Design tab on the right, scroll down to Typography, then select Headings.
Find the heading type you've chosen – for example, Heading 2.
Find Auto-numbering, then select the auto-numbering style from the dropdown.
You’re all set! If you add headings to different pages, the numbering will be saved.
If you need to create a multi-level list, follow these steps:
Select your text and change it in the top panel from Normal to Heading. For example, select Heading 1 for the first point and Heading 2 for the subparagraph.
Repeat this process for text on a different page.
Next, navigate to the Design tab on the right, scroll down to Typography, then select Headings.
Find Heading 1 > Auto-numbering, then select the auto-numbering style from the dropdown.
Finally, navigate to the Heading 2 > Auto-numbering and select the auto-numbering style from the dropdown. Make sure it’s the same as you selected for Heading 1.
You can now create multi-level lists on different pages.
To make sure your headings look like regular text, follow these steps:
Navigate to the Design tab on the right, scroll down to Typography, then select Headings.
Find the heading type you've chosen – for example, Heading 5.
