Heading Numbers for Google Docs

Add heading numbers to your Google Documents using the simple add-on Heading Numbers! I’ve been looking high and low for a good add-on that will allow me to add heading numbers to my Google Documents, but no luck yet. I’ve tried Table of Contents by LumApps and Paragraph Styles by Filipe Werneck, but they both only allow me to add digits in the form of 1.2.3. But we need more, don’t we?

This add-on for Google Docs is the simplest way to add any custom numbering style to your Google Docs headings.

Heading Numbers for Google Documents is a add-on that allow you to heading numbering styles to any Google Document. The heading numbering relies on the document structure to identify headings of level 1 through 6, and number them according to their level.
