Default automatic numbering

You may have to start from scratch. Numbering is very easy to mess up and
quickly becomes what has been described as "spaghetti numbering." You can
fix the document and return it to the sender close to bullet-proof. See: How
to create numbered headings or outline numbering in your Word document
http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/numb...Numbering.html. (For
bullets see http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/bull...olbullets.html, the
subject is related.)

This is based on ...
