How to change the typeset division numbering scheme

Version: 3.x, 4.x, 5.x - Scientific WorkPlace & Scientific Word

Use TeX commands in the preamble of your document to number your headings according to a particular scheme:

1. From the Typeset menu, choose Preamble.
2. Click the mouse in the entry area.
3. At the end of the preamble entries, type \renewcommand{\level}{scheme{counter}} where level is the level of the division you want to renumber, such as thechapter, thesection, or thesubsection; scheme is the numbering scheme, such as Roman or arabic; and counter is the counter for the division level, such as part or chapter.
4. Choose OK to return to your document.

   ---

For example, to produce chapters with uppercase roman numerals, sections with capitalized alphabetic characters, and subsections with arabic numbers, use these commands:

\renewcommand{\thesection}{\Alph{section}}

\renewcommand{\thechapter}{\Roman{chapter}}

\renewcommand{\thesubsection}{\arabic{subsection}}
