Word Autonumbering ... How deep can you go?

There’s a maximum of nine levels available in Word multi-level numbering. That’s enough for the seven dwarves plus two more. There’s a way to get more than nine levels.

A Multilevel list setup shows 9 levels.

Need more?  Perhaps create a separate multilevel list with custom numbering starting at 10?

It might be better to restructure the document because lots of levels can become unwieldly.
