Cross-reference problem: extra digit

Question

My document is set up with several levels of headings, all mapped to a multi-level list. Works great. 

I need to include a list of Appendices at the end (Section 6). I want it to be numbered so I can cross-reference to items in the list, but not in my regular Heading 2 format (since that's large type and bold). So I created a new style, Heading2_Appendices, with the font I want. This isn't a multilevel list, so it's just set up as a normal numbered list, but I specified that "6" be put in front of the number (so instead of 1, 2, 3 the list looks like 6.1, 6.2, 6.3). 

This works fine...except in the cross-references. When I insert a cross-ref, it looks like "1.6.1" instead of "6.1".

Anyone have any ideas why this might be? Alternatively, is there another way to accomplish this (cross-referencing to items in a list that may be re-ordered/changed over time)?

For the best way to set this up, see http://shaunakelly.com/word/numbering/numberingappendixes.html.

Answer 2

Thanks again for your help! Seems to be working now.

Answer 3

To edit the list, click in the first Heading 1 paragraph of the document and then click Home tab | Multilevel List | Define New Multilevel List.

Answer 4

Thanks Stefan! I have always set up my main headings using her guidelines, but have never seen this one about appendices.

Is there a way to go in and edit the multilevel list I already have set up? I know I have managed to do this before, but I seem to remember it's kind of hidden. If I go into multilevel lists it only tells me I can create a new one, not modify the current one. 

Thanks again,

Jen
