Really? In what way didn't that work?

If the retstart button is grayed out while you are in an auto-numbered
paragraph, it's because Word thinks that paragraph already belongs to a new
list.
I can't think of another reason... and setting the start-at value should
work in that case.

The restart methods described in Margaret Aldis' web pages are much better,
but if you are stuck with old documents and need to edit those without some
major overhaul or a VBA solution, it should be possible.
