Why do numbered list automatically revert to 'continue from the previous
list' after I have saved the document and then re-opened it.

I have 6 Word2007 subdocuments files, that I have inserted into a Master
Document.

If I open a file outside the Master Document and change the numbered lists
to start at 1 using 'Restart at 1' or 'Restart at i' (for a second level
list) command, then save and open it again outside the Master Document all
the numbered lists are correct.

But if I open this file in the Master Document all the numbered lists run
continuously (restarted Numbered Lists are ignored).

How can I make sure the restarted Numbered List are correctly saved and will
not automatically revert to 'continue from the previous list'.

I am using Word2007 on a Vista OS.

Many thanks in advance
