Ah I thought I had done that but I forgot to check the "Global" on the Level 2 style as well. It's a bit fiddly to use right now but seems to be working, thanks.

Thanks for the reply. I can get the top-level global numbering working across text frames now - I had no idea it was based on the Z rather than the x/y position in the sequence. I can't get the second level working though, when I set it to Level 2 and changed the text format to be Level1.CurrentLevel, it showed "0.1". It didn't seem to matter whether it was above or below the parent text frame in the layers. Perhaps this is a variant of the problem you've already reported, although I couldn't get it to recognise any parent heading I don't think.

I don't know if I'm just not doing this right, or whether Publisher doesn't support multi-level heading numbers yet. I have a simple document with a number of "Heading 1" and "Heading 2" titles. I want these to be hierarchically numbered, i.e. 1, 2 for top-level headings, 1.2, 1.3 etc for second level. I can get this to work if the Heading 1 and Heading 2 styled text is within a single text frame, but if I use different text frames across different pages, the numbering always resets to 1 regardless of what options I pick in the Paragraph formatting area. I saw a Name and Global flag in the properties but these didn't seem to do anything. Is global multi-level numbering supposed to work yet?
