Re: Restart numbering automatically

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Did you look at the article I referenced? You need to create an
outline-numbered list, with your headings (unnumbered) as Level 1 and your
numbered lists as Level 2, set to restart after Level 1. If you experience
problems with the list numbering after importing back, Ctrl+A, Ctrl+Q should
set it right.

I believe I need to clarify more. In the test documentation (and there
are
many test documents) the standard heading numbers are used. Beneath those
there are step numbers for the test steps themselves. The documents are
imported into DOORS for testing and further changes with the paragraph
styles
intact but imbedded. When the testing is finished the test documents are
then exported back out into WORD 2003 for the customer. However the test
steps start at number 1 and end at 32,768 (or whatever it changes to) at
the
bottom regardless of the fact that there are some 50 separate tests in the
test document.

I can manually right click to restart the numbering under each heading for
600 pages of tests, but I would like to find a way for this to be
accomplished automatically. I tried making a macro, but it is just on my
computer and I may not be the person that exports the DOORS tests. In
fact
it is more likely to be a testing engineer that exports the document. So
I
would like to find a way to imbed the renumbering automatically in the
template.

Thank you for your help.

Higher-level headings need not be numbered to be able to restart
numbering.

I have a document with test steps that is over 600 pages. It has to
be
exported out of DOORs and into Word 2003 for the customer once all the
testing is done. I need a way for the step numbers (style: stepnum)
to
restart numbering after each heading.
