Bug in Word 2007 list numbering when modifying?
In Word 2007, I have set up list numbering using the traditional (Word
97-2003) method of tying the numbers into paragraph styles. Works great except that whenever I modify the definition via Multilevel List -- Define New Multilevel List, the numbered paragraph where my cursor is located restarts numbering at #1. If I modify the List from the first numbered paragraph at the top of the list, the 2nd paragraph restarts numbering at 1, so I have two #1 paragraphs. When this happens, I can remove direct formatting (with Ctrl+Q) from the misnumbered paragraph and the numbering is fixed, but I am rolling this out for a client and am wondering if it's possible to get this to work properly without the extra step. Thanks, Colleen |

Bug in Word 2007 list numbering when modifying?
I can confirm this behavior. You've already found one work-around: resetting
the paragraph to style via Ctrl+Q. The other work-around is to set up numbering with a list style *and* link the numbering levels of the list style to paragraph styles. Then you can modify the numbering by modifying the list style, which is a bit safer than accessing the list via the selected numbered paragraph. List styles, once created (the same way you create other styles in Word), will appear under the "List Styles" heading at Home tab | Multilevel List. To modify a list style, right-click it and choose Modify from the context menu. The Modify Style dialog box is displayed. To modify the numbering, click Format, Numbering. This displays the Modify Multilevel List dialog box, which is identical to the Define New Multilevel List dialog; it allows you to attach styles, change the font of the number, etc. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Colleen" wrote in message ...
