I have using the auto numbering in a styles feature to create auto
numbering
in a specification. Each level starts number at 1, however, each time I
apply the section, the number continues from the previous section. The
only
way I have been able to get the number to restart at 1 is by manually
going
into the "bullets & numbering" and selecting the restart numbering key
every
time I use each level. Is there no way to include this automatically so
that
when you use the level style it will also renumber from 1 (or a set
number),
thus avoiding the additional step.
