Tip: If the format of the numberings does not suit you, you can always change
the settings for the numbered list that you created in step 2 to adapt the format to
your needs. To do this, invoke the Format > Bullets and Numbering command
again, switch to the Numbered lists property sheet, select the list, click on Edit
and make the desired changes. These changes will affect all the headings in the
document – including those already numbered.
Note for users of older versions of TextMaker
In older versions of TextMaker, headings could not be numbered automatically
based on a numbered list and had to be numbered by means of manual insertions of
“Auto number” fields.
If you have old documents in which the headings are still numbered using the old
method, you can of course continue to use them without restriction. TextMaker
continues to support the auto number field.
However, use of the new method is recommended when composing new documents,
because numbered lists have several advantages:
You no longer have to manually insert an “Auto Number” field at the beginning
of each heading.
Numbered lists are more flexible: they provide more kinds of numberings and
more formatting possibilities.
Numbered lists can be conveniently modified even after they have been applied.
For example, if you want to change the formatting of all the numberings,
all you have to do is edit the formatting of the numbered list – the numberings
of all the headings will immediately change accordingly.
Outlined documents and chapters
Outlined documents often have page headers and footers in which the reader can
find information such as the title of the current chapter.
Naturally, TextMaker allows you to create such headers and footers. The only
requirement is that you divide the document into chapters, which are permitted to
have their own headers and footers.
To do this, use Insert > Break > Chapter break to insert a so-called chapter
break before each new thematic section of the document – normally, that means
before every major heading.
