How to create a custom number list in Word 2010

Open word and select the  "Multilevel List".  It is the 3rd icon under Home next to Bullets and Numbering.

Select "Define Multilevel List".  This will be at the bottom of the drop down.

Write a name and then ignore everything else.

In the bottom right hand corner where it says "Format", click it and select "Numbering...", Once open, click more.

Notice on the left the "Click level to modify".  This is going to be used alot.  I'm going to shorten it and call it CLTM.

Highlight CLTM #1 and then on the right hand under "Link Level to Style", select Heading 1.

Then do CLTM #2 and Link to Heading 2.  Repeat for 3-9.

Now this is where it may get a little confusing.

Highlight CLTM #1 and under "Enter Formatting for Number", select 1, 2, 3, ... under "Number style for this level".  You'll see it will now put a "1" in the box under "Enter Formatting for Number". 

Now highlight CLTM #2.  under "Enter Formatting for Number", delete EVERYTHING.  You want to click "Include level number from" and select "Level 1".  You'll see there is a 1 in the box.  Now type a "." (not the "") after the 1.  Next select 1, 2, 3, ... under "Number style for this level".  This will now add another 1 after it.  It should now look like 1.1.

So you are going to repeat the process... this is what the final CLTM #9 would look like:

select "Level 1", type "."

select "Level 2", type "."

select "Level 3", type "."

select "Level 4", type "."

select "Level 5", type "."

select "Level 6", type "."

select "Level 7", type "."

select "Level 8", type "."

and finally select 1, 2, 3, ... under "Number style for this level".  

What this does is link it to the previous number.

To test if this is setup correctly, enter a few levels down and right click Heading 1 and select "Set Numbering Value".  Change this to anything but 1 and you will see how they are linked. If its 5,5.1,5.2.1,5.2.2,5.3.1, etc then it worked.

I had the problem that it went 5, 1.5, 1.2.5, etc.  This happened because I had the linking setup wrong.  If you have any questions, please post comments below and I'll do my best about answering them.

If you did mess it up, its easy to edit what you've already created.  Click the Multilevel List again and you'll see your custom one created.  Just right click the picture and click modify.

Error 1303. Setup cannot access the folder C:\...\1033

"Error 1303.  Setup cannot access the folder C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Folders\1033.  Verify that the folder exists in your system and that you have sufficient permissions to update it."

The first solution was to try and change permissions on the 1033 folder.  That was unsuccessful and gave an "Access Denied".  But I was able to get a solution that worked.

OS: Windows 7
Problem: Office 2010

Solution:  I was logged in as a user that was added to the local Administrators group, but that wasn't good enough.  You must enable the local administrator account and turn off UAC.  To turn off UAC -> Control Panel -> User Accounts and Family Security -> User Accounts -> Change User Account Control Settings -> Drag the bar to the bottom and then select ok.  You will then be required to reboot for it to apply. Link

To enable the administrator account -> Click Start Or Use My Computer Desktop Icon -> Right click My Computer -> Manage -> Local Users and Groups -> Users -> Right Click Administrator -> Uncheck "Account is Disabled"

From there... Navigate to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Folders\1033.  Right click the folder and select Properties. Select the Security Tab and click Advanced.  Click the Owner tab, enter your username in their to take ownership of the folder.  Click apply and you should now be able to access the folder.
