Re: Numbered paragraph styles

Ok. Thanks again, Suzanne.

You need to have a higher-level style to make it restart. See
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Numbering/ListRestartMethods.htm. If you don't
have more than nine heading and list styles combined, you could still put
the heading and list styles in a single outline-numbered list. For example,
you could have Headings 1-4 for Levels 1-4 and your list numbers for Levels
5-9. Then the Level 5 list style would restart after a heading at any level;
but if you need to restart the lists within sections under a given heading
level, then you need one of the other restart methods.

Sorry, one last problem still. All the styles are starting over correctly,
except the top level. It is still continuing the numbering from a previous
list.

Ok, great. Thanks for your time, Suzanne.

The List Number styles should be linked to an outline numbering scheme
using
the method described in
http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/numbering/OutlineNumbering.html. It
will be
a separate outline-numbered list from the headings. There is no way to
make
them behave if they are all defined independently using the Numbered
tab.

BTW, numbering for the List Number styles uses the numbers in the
Numbered
tab. The Heading styles are numbered using the Outline Numbered
tab... if
this makes any difference.

If all the styles you mention are part of the same
outline-numbered
list,
then you should have higher levels before lower levels. If you
have a
combination of heading styles and list styles (that is, some of
the
styles
you mentioned are actually heading styles), then you can still
make the
heading styles and list styles part of the same outline numbering
scheme
(if
you make the list numbering a lower levels than any of the
headings,
then
the list numbering will restart after *any* higher level). If you
have
heading numbering and list numbering running independently, you
should
still
not be having lower levels that don't follow higher levels. Can
you
clarify
exactly what sorts of things the a), 1), etc. numbering is
attached to?

If all else fails, sometimes you just have to restart numbering
manually
(right-click in the first list item and choose Restart Numbering).

Thanks for your amazingly quick response, Suzanne.

Ok. I did everything according to the link you posted. This
makes the
Heading # styles right. The list number styles below, still do
not
start
with
the correct first number. These styles cannot be linked to a
single
previous
style because they could be after any of the Heading # styles or
even
Body
text 1 (through) 4. Next?

I have read the previous issues on numbering, but none of it
seems
to
help.

I have five numbered paragraph styles, "List number" thru
"List
number
4".
The numbering is a), 1), (a), (1), and i. When applying
these
styles
after
a
higher level paragraph, they do not start at the correct
first
number.
Is
this just a quirk of Word.
