restart numbering/style creation strategy
Whats the safest/smartest way to restart numbering in Word 2007?
The situation here is a style has been created with a number 1 + tab and applied to the body text paragraphs. However, some documents have many lists that need to restart at number 1. Should the users be told to right-click and choose restart at 1? I recently read MVP Margaret Aldis article, €śHow to restart style-based numbering,€ť but it is geered to W97-2003 for the MAC. The article mentions, €ś€¦restart list numbering has been implicated in building up extra list templates in documents, changing list template names, and losing links between list templates and styles.€ť This leads me to think right-clicking restart numbering is creating instability! Finally, what strategy should be taken when defining a paragraph style in a new Word template for mass consumption where users have to restart numbering? I need to develop a template and want to save users (and myself!) grief with numbering gone awry. Guidance would be appreciated . |

restart numbering/style creation strategy
I have a style that I created that numbers the same way and had the same
issue. I ended up modifying the Quick Style by de-selecting "automatically update" and it solved the issue. Give that a try and see if it works for you.

restart numbering/style creation strategy
Thanks Cindy for your attempt to help me. I only leave the TOC styles to
automatically update, so this isn't a fix. I continue to research construction of paragraph & list styles to give the user community stable autonumbered documents. Then, I need to know steps user's should follow to (safely) restart numbering. "Cindy" wrote: I have a style that I created that numbers the same way and had the same issue.
