Chinese Regulation Word Numbering Template（中文法规）
The Chinese Regulation template（中文法规模板）follows the structure commonly seen in Chinese statutes: 第一章 (Chapter One), 第一节 (Section One), 第一条 (Article One), then （一） and 1． levels down to nine.
It is designed for laws, regulations, and policy drafting — the chapter → section → article rhythm that makes Chinese legal texts instantly recognizable.

Numbering Structure
All nine levels are linked to Word's built-in Heading styles: apply Heading 1 and level 1 numbering appears, Heading 2 and level 2 appears, and so on. Numbering is followed by a single space — no stray tab jumps.
| Level | Linked style | Number format |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Heading 1 | 第一章 |
| 2 | Heading 2 | 第一节 |
| 3 | Heading 3 | 第一条 |
| 4 | Heading 4 | （一） |
| 5 | Heading 5 | 1． |
| 6 | Heading 6 | （1） |
| 7 | Heading 7 | ① |
| 8 | Heading 8 | 1） |
| 9 | Heading 9 | a． |

In practice: 第一章 总则, 第一节 一般规定, 第一条 目的依据 — each article, section, and chapter auto-numbers as you write.
How It Works in Word
Double-click the .dotx and Word opens a new, unnamed document based on the template. Type a heading, apply a Heading style from the Styles gallery, and the number appears. Add, delete, move, or promote headings — the numbering re-calculates itself, because it is defined inside the style, not typed into the text.
Save your finished document as .docx and the numbering stays with it. Works on Word for Microsoft 365, Word 2024/2021/2019/2016, Word for Mac, and WPS Office.
