Re: Re-numbering resets indents

Hi Greg:

Yes, you can, provided the numbering attached to the style is the kind that
"will" re-start.

When you restart, Word then re-applies the same list template and you get
the same indents.

Cheers

so, are you saying that if I used styles to create the numbering that I
could
have restarted the numbering using the same style?

Hi Greg:

Yes. That's normal. When you Restart numbering, you apply a different
List
Template to the list. It may have different indents.

Use Styles for your bullets and numbering so you do not get this problem.

When I right click on a bulleted paragraph and select Restart
Numbering,
the
left and hanging indents are also modified sometimes
