Let's hope Margaret will weigh in here since I can't answer that question.

When I read the articles, the light bulb went on. The hierarchy also
explains
the formatting changes that arrive. I was hoping to avoid VBA because I'm
not
the only person here who will work on this document. I need a fix that
doesn't require macros and programming scripts. Is there another way to
keep
my list at level 1?

When I am working with numbered lists, I have problems restarting
numbering.
In some documents, I can restart numbering without any difficulty. In
others,
the radio button is grayed out. Sometimes, I can restart numbering,
but
that
triggers indents, new font sizes, and other unwanted formatting
changes.
I don't want to use complicated macros because other people who don't
have
advanced skills will have to edit these documents in the future. I've
tried
creating a custom style based on "no style" for my numbered list (my
personal
preference) and resorted to manually typing numbers, creating
additional
custom styles (e.g., Numbered list P1, Numbered list P2), and ever
variation
I can think of.
I've started with brand new documents and edited older ones. There
seems
to
be no rhyme or reason behind the unselectability of a very important
radio
button.
I usually get my documents from others, which complicates matters.
Clearing
formatting and pasting the text in a blank document has had mixed
results.
