I am not clear what exactly you have inserted from Quickparts, but automatic
paragraph numbering formats can usually be restarted from any number. Right
click the paragraph and select 'Set Numbering Value'.
ListNum fields can be started or restarted from any number using a switch eg
{ LISTNUM LegalDefault \s 45 }
{ LISTNUM LegalDefault}
{ LISTNUM LegalDefault }
{ LISTNUM LegalDefault \s 50 }
{ LISTNUM LegalDefault }
{ LISTNUM LegalDefault }
SEQ fields are similar and as Suzanne suggests SEQ fields are very useful as
you can not only dictate the start number but you can have any number of
sequences. The fact that they do not automatically update if you make
changes is of minor consequence. You could easily force an update e.g.
CTRL+A then F9 or by using a macro from a button on the QAT (Quick Access
Toolbar) . See
http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm for example code.

This is a legal pleading & the format is "Response to Special Rog [#]
I'm auto-numbering using Quickparts - Fields. Now my requests have
jumped from 42 to 45. Unfortunately there does not seem to be any
way to reset the starting number to 45.
BTW: I received a doc the other day which appeared to have auto
numbering in it - using some extremely complicated set up that in
fact, didn't actually work. It inserted the same code every time &
you had to manually update the field every time so... not really
auto-numbering at all, unfortunately.
