Using Word 2003.

We use line numbering extensively, and most of the time it works as
advertised.

However, sometimes when pasting a bulleted list into a table cell, the
line numbers acquire bullets as well! Similarly with pasting numbered
lists into a table cell -- the line numbers change from 1, 2, 3 to 1.1,
1.2, 1.3 etc.

Closing Word and re-opening it does not fix the problem. The only
workaround I have found is to shutdown the machine and reboot it. Then
the line numbering is restored to normal.

Has anyone else seen this, and is there a less drastic workaround?
