Default Maintaining List Numbering When Copy & Pasting in Word 2010

Do you want the numbering to remain live, meaning you want Word to be able to
renumber the list if you insert something, or are those the final numbers?

If the latter, you could use "Convert to static text" (though I don't know
where to find that in W2010; right-clicking might find it).

I am copying a two column numbered list. Both columns / rows are
numbered 1-20. If I copy and paste the list within the same document,
it continues the number 21-40. I would like to keep the numbering 1-20
when I copy it within the same document. Of course, I can right click
on the 21 and say restart to 1, but is there any way I can copy and
paste and retain the numbered list, without having to restart each time
I paste the list?

Thank you for your help.
