Default Am I going mad? - More tales of bizarre numbering in Word 03

Hi,

Just thought I would share the latest in the wierd numbering saga.

I have paragraph style called 'Notes Numbered' used in several places in my
document. I also have a very different charater style called 'Directors Name
Char'.

When I restart the numbering on a list in 'Notes Numbered' style, the list
does restart, but the first paragraph has the 'Director's name' style
applied to it (different size text and bold).

Hitting Ctrl+Space does not remove the character style and Reveal Formatting
claims the Paragraph style is 'Directors Name Char' (even though it is a
character style).

Setting the first paragraph back to Notes Numbered loses the Restart.
Choosing Restart through the Bullets and Numbering dialog does the same
thing.

I'm getting problems like this with numbering all the time in Word 2003.
Does anyone have a workaround for this and is anyone looking at a patch to
fix numbering?

Thanks

Paul
