Word 2007 Paragraph numbering/restart numbering; Legal doc
Sam, one way to get around the "restart numbering" issue is to use a heading
style (or numbered paragraph style, which is what we use in our office) in your document that is NOT numbered. For instance, Level 1 of your document might be a text paragraph that is NOT numbered, where you want numbered paragraphs starting with 1 to follow the UN-numbered paragraph. Set up your numbering with Level 1 being the UN-numbered paragraph (i.e., select "none" under "Number style for this level" and select "Nothing" under "Follow number with") and Level 2 to be the numbered paragraphs that follow, where the Level 2 paragraphs will start over with 1 after any Level 1 paragraph. As for the paragraphs reverting to hanging instead of first line indented, are you using the Format Painter to copy number formatting from one paragraph to another? It's my experience that the Format Painter is about the finest tool Word ever created, but when you use it to paint formatting from one numbered paragraph to another, the paragraph that you copied FROM tends to revert to Word's default formatting.... in your case, perhaps, the hanging paragraph format. If that's the case with your documents, you might do better to set up UN-numbered paragraphs (as explained above) whenever you want to "restart" numbering in paragraphs that follow basic text paragraphs.

Here is what I want: -numbered paragraphs that automatically number the next paragraph -to restart the numbering several times in the document -paragraphs to be first-line indented, not hanging I knew how to do it in prior Word, but W2007 reverts to hanging paragraphs when I try to do Restart Numbering, and then won't restart the numbering anyway. It is driving me crazy. I cannot get it to restart numbering. I tried applying List 2, I tried creating a new style, but none of it seems to work. What do I have to do? |
