Restart numbering at 3.5
I am working on a document with numbered lists. There are normal paragraph
numbered lists (Headings 1 thru 5) and numbered lists in a table (Headings 6 thru 9). The first table ends numbering at 5.4.5. I need to start numbering for the next table at 3.5. I tried to do this by changing the style but that went back and changed all the work I had already done. How do I start at 3.5 w/o changing my previous numbered list? |

Restart numbering at 3.5
See http://word.mvps.org/faqs/numbering/...artmethods.htm. Depending on
the version of Word, you may find using the LISTNUM field for restarts to be the easiest approach; see http://word.mvps.org/faqs/numbering/...tByLISTNUM.htm. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "ajw5850" wrote in message news I am working on a document with numbered lists.

Restart numbering at 3.5
I checked out the page you suggested and it all seems way over my head. Is
there anyway to insert a chapter break or something like that that would allow me to start a new numbered list without changing the previous lists in the document?

Restart numbering at 3.5
Assuming that the number of restarts required is not huge, you can do this
relatively easy with LISTNUM fields: 5.4.5 This is the final paragraph in your first table. Make sure it ends with two LISTNUM fields: {LISTNUM \l 1 \s 3 } { LISTNUM \l 2 \s 4 }. 3.5 This is the next Heading 2 paragraph. To insert each pair of field delimiters, { }, press Ctrl+F9. Type the code as shown. Press F9 to see the field result. To duplicate a field, you can use copy and paste. To change the numbering level of a field (if necessary), you can right-click it and choose Increase Indent or Decrease Indent from the context menu. To view or edit the field code directly, use Alt+F9. Format the fields as white text to prevent them from printing (you can still see the fields if you enable field shading in Word Options). -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "ajw5850" wrote in message ...
