Framemaker uses

[Deirdre Reagan]

Hi Richard:

I agree the FrameMaker's numbering system is far superior to Word's system.

However, in Word, you can stabilize the numbering system.  Go to
Tools>Protect Document and click the box Limit formatting to a
selection of styles.  Click the Settings link and from there, you can
choose which styles the document's users can employ and which they
cannot.
