The alternative is to insert SEQ fields. You can have them restart after a
bult-in heading style by adding the \s switch to the SEQ field code. For
example, the following field:

{ SEQ test \* alphabetic \s 1 }

would produce a sequence of letters a, b, c, ...; it will restart when the
field follows a *built-in* Heading 1 paragraph. (For a sequence of roman
numerals, use \* roman instead of \* alphabetic.)

To create a SEQ field, you can press Ctrl+F9; Word inserts field
delimiters,
{ }. Type the code as shown. The "test" part is the identifier, which
identifies fields belonging to the same sequence. Choose an identifier
that
makes sense to you.

To update the result of the field at the insertion point, press F9, and to
show/hide field codes, press Alt+F9.

You can use copy and paste whenever you want to duplicate a field.

Note that SEQ fields do not update automatically, which will be especially
apparent if you used copy and paste to duplicate them. You can force an
update of fields by switching to Print Preview and then back to your
current
view.

Åsa,

Well, you can have more than one list style in a W2007 document. But for
your situation you'd have to be able to set a restart for a level in
another
list style. I'm not sure that's possible. You only need one more level,
so
if you could reduce the number of sublist levels to heading 1, you'd be
able
to get the last sublist level into the list. I'm interesting in knowing
how
it works out.

Pam, if you're still reading this - I have another question related to
this.

Imagine that I have two more levels in this list style. Level 8 is an
"i-list" and Level 9 is an "a-list", like this.

(i) apples
(ii) bananas

and the other:

(a) apples
(b) bananas

The reason for having them in the same list as the others is that I
want them to restart after a heading. This works fine. My only problem
is that I also want a numbered list:

1. apples
2. bananas

I want this list to restart after a heading. But I can only use nine
levels.

Any ideas?
