If you are wanting to change the numbering of a "Numbered" or "Outline
Numbered" paragragh, go to the position where you want the numbering to
change, either right-mouse or Format menu "Bullets and Numbering", the dialog
box should open up with the numbering type that is applied, click Customize
button, then for each level you can dictate the number you want to start at,
OK. If all styles are applied correctly all subsequent numbers will follow
automatically.
If you have a List Style, you can use the Modify button to change the start
at number.
Hope this helps, come back if you need anything further.

Using Word 2003. How do you change the number sequence that automunbering

I have a very large document and had to break it in half to work on it. The
only problem is that I cannot change the starting number that autonumbering
begins on and I cannot get the paragraphs to number consecutively.
