Place the cursor at the paragraph numbered 7. In the Customize Outline
Numbered List dialog box, change the "Start at" to "1" for the second
level of numbering. Note that this does not ensure that you won't get
problems with numbering in the future. Actually, problems are to be
expected, unless you set it up carefully using styles as described at
http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/numb...Numbering.html .

Hello,
I have uploaded a small Word file showing an infuriating problem I
have
with a numbered list:
http://www.4shared.com/dir/626462/488e1090/sharing.html
For some unknown reason, automatic numbering is "crippled" in only
two places in the whole list. It goes 5.2 then 5.2.3, 5.2.4 etc.
(refusing to produce 5.2.1 first) and it goes 7., then 7.4, 7.5 etc
(refusing to produce 7.1, 7.2, 7.3 first).
I have tried everything (transferring to another file, customizing
the
list entry etc) - to no avail.
Please help me to conquer this annoyance so that I know the solution
once and for all - I have had to resort to manual numbering of lists
many times before because of this.
