Hi ?B?dHJpY2hpZQ==?=,

I read all the links you gave me and I am really confused now. I guess I
just stop using styles for numbered lists and do it like all the other idiots
out there with the tool bar.

I gave you only one link...

The principal described boils down to this: Your "real" numbering starts with
the second level. The first level (which need not be defined with a number) must
be applied to (a/any) paragraph that precedes the start of the new list. This
will automatically cause the first list entry (level 2) to restart at 1.

The alternative is to create a new style for each list in your document.

Yes, I agree, it's a PITA. We're hoping MS is going to get the problem
straightened out in the next version of Word...
