I am creating a very large document with several different numbered lists in
different sections. I have updated the style of the of the list to make sure
I get consistent styles across all sections. The problem I am having is
whenever I select "restart at 1" the style completely changes and I have to
manually reset the style.

Example of first list:
1) ....
2) ....
3) ....


Example of second list in another section that needs to "restart at 1":
1) ....
2) ....
3) ....

If I select the correct style and re-apply to fix the format, it changes the
list and starts at 4) instead of fixing the style and starting at 1).

This has been an on-going battle. Additionally, when re-applying the style,
it also has a tendency change the styles of ones I didn't even touch, causing
me to re-reviewng the entire document each time.

Any help or insight into fixing this problem would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

You could try a different way to restart the numbering; see
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/numbering/...artmethods.htm. The easiest way
is to set up an outline list.

I reviewed the article and it doesn't look like there is a simple/easy fix.
I was hoping for simple and easy...

Well, in principle restarting is easy as it is a "well-defined" task, but it
may very well be time-consuming.
