How to auto-number thesis chapters and sections in Microsoft Word

[@BlueBlag]

I already wrote a thesis, a dissertation and I'm currently working on a book manuscript. Every time I need to do this I go back to this video. Thank you so much. This is so helpful, you have no idea.

[@athulp55spo]

I will never forget you James.

[@mpumelelozulu6268]

If I hadn't watched this video, I would've done my Thesis Table of Content manually. Thank you so much.

[@abdullahalokuz3154]

I saw several videos and they just confused me, while your explanation here is clear and simple to understand! Many thanks!

[@ashleyrodrigues7875]

bro you are a godsend. after an hour of fiddling with word settings, all i needed to do was watch this one video. THANK YOU!

[@shimshonrapaport603]

Years I have been struggling with tables of contents. Finally a brief video that explains it so simply. Thanks!

Unfortunately I can't give specific formatting tips through the comments here- it sometimes takes a lot of work to figure out solutions to these issues!

thanks Dr. Hayton. Really appreciate it.

[@Napoleon4778]

I have a slight problem.
When I number the first chapter, the subsections or the next chapters do not get numbered automatically. It just adds '1.' as a prefix to the first chapter. That's it.

I have the same problem, if you found solution, please let me know

Very helpful! Thank you!

[@essaied66]

well explained. Thanks for the useful information

[@karineeid2074]

Thanks for the video! However, when I apply this the font automatically changes to calibri, even though I have a different font in the document before following the steps. Any recommendations for making the heading font standard?
Is the page brake between chapters automatic? It does not happen in my document.
