Yes, I'm using a different style for each numbering level, and I linked each
level to the corresponding style.
Right now, there are other styles used for numbered lists. I began with a
300-page manual that had several different numbering styles, in addition to
numbering sequences manually formatted (so they show up in my Formatting in
Use with no paragraph marker).
I'm trying to clean it up by creating a numbered list style based on Shauna
Kelly's instructions and then will migrate all the old styles and manual
formatting to this new style.
Shall I resolve it by adding the LISTNUM field "LISTNUM \l 1 \s 0" to each
of the numbered lists? This is a procedural manual so there are 100's of them.
Alternative suggestions would be appreciated as well as a quick reply.
Thanks so much!

I meticulously went through and defined a list style (1 for the top level,
a.
for Level 2, ii for Level 3, etc.) using Shauna Kelly's "How to create
numbered headings or outline numbering in your Microsoft Word document."
Now
when I go to apply it, the first number in one particular list is set to
8.
I've checked, and my Level 1 is set to start at 1, and each of the lower
levels are set appropriately to restart the numbering.
I've tried changing this paragraph to Normal and then resetting it to
List,
and that didn't do anything.
Please advise. I thought by following Shauna's excellent instructions,
everything would turn out fine and I wouldn't have any more hassles.
