context numbering

Hi 

I used two different languages in my thesis (Persian & English) in the same content so Numeral setting in file-Options- Advanced just set in "Context". I want to say all setting is the same in word 2013 and 2016 but word 2016 has this problem ( changing number order).

Please see this links.

 Thanks for your attention I hope Microsoft support team solve this bug in the future update in Word 2016!

Hi Bagher,

Unfortunately, since you are using mixed content, this solution will not work for you.  In this case, you’ll need to try the second solution which is using tables instead of a numbered list similar to below: 

Although not ideal, this solution avoids the numbers list and should resolve your issue.  Again, I or one of my colleagues will post here when the fix is released.

Best,

Diane

Hi Diane 

Thanks for your attention but I said before this solution didn't work for long document like "thesis file" ( which is contain numerous multilevel lists).

All the best,

Bagher

Hi.

A workaround is to put a Persian space before numbers.

To do so, Select "Define new number format" in the numbering dialog box.

Insert a Persian space into "Number format" text box.

Then select the desired "Number style" from the drop down menu.

For long documents, it's better to define a style for your numbering according to the above guidelines and use it whenever it is necessary.

I hope this works.

Hi Diane,

I am not sure if you will be provided with the documents that I sent to Rob Little and the following bug that affects Right-to-Left Multi-level numbering linked to Heading Styles, described below.

When the Level 1 numbering Style is set to 1, 2, 3, ..., the Level 2 numbering Style is set to A, B, C,... and the Level 3 numbering Style is set to a, b, c,..., the numbering is displayed correctly as

.1

.A.1

.a.A.1

.B.1

.a.B.1

.b.B.1

.C.1

etc.  However, when the Level 2 and Level 3 numbering Styles are changed to 1, 2, 3, ... with NO OTHER CHANGES BEING MADE, the numbering changes to

.1

.1.1

.1.1.1

.1.2

.1.2.1

.2.2.1

1.3

in which the right to left numbering is maintained for the Heading 1 and Heading 3 styles, but the numbering linked to Heading style 2 appears in Left to Right format.

If you send me an email message, I will send you a copy of my message to Rob.
