I'm new to using Google Docs as a word processor so maybe I'm missing something simple. I tried importing a word doc into Google Docs and it lost a lot of formatting. It turned my structured outline numbering (ie. 1, 1.1, 1.2, 1.2.1, etc.) into just the last number, which is confusing when reading the document. Is there a way to fix this numbering style?

Are you referring to the formation of a Table of Contents?– Jacob Jan TuinstraMar 14, 2013 at 13:49

Well, I have the table of contents working, but there is no auto numbering.– deltarayMar 14, 2013 at 14:10

You can insert a page numbering via the menu: Insert/Page number, but you can't set it up the way you want to unfortunately.– Jacob Jan TuinstraMar 14, 2013 at 14:21

I noticed that it also doesn't have the ability to add page numbers in the ToC. These are both basic word processor features going back decades. I don't understand how Google expects people to take them seriously while lacking features like this. Especially when they would be so easy to implement.– deltarayMar 14, 2013 at 15:25
