You can try the restart command: Right-click the paragraph whose numbering
you want to restart, and then click Numbering, and click Set Numbering
Value. In the dialog box, make sure that "Start new list" is checked. In the
"Set value to" box, choose the value "I."

Note that it would be easier to set up your outline list so that you can use
a paragraph style to restart numbering; for example, if you are using a
particular style at the beginning of each section, you can make that style
the top-level style/level in the list (it doesn't have to be numbered).

I am trying to set up a course outline that is divided into 10 sections
(with
section breaks).

I have set up a list style for the first section, with the levels linked
to
heading styles, which works fine. The problem is when I want to start the
outline numbering over again in the second section.

If I just choose the list style from the Multi-Level List box, it
continues
the numbering from the previous section. If I try to change the numbering
back to, in this case, Roman numeral 1, it won't let me, saying that "The
value is less than the previous entry in the list."

So, I choose "define new multilevel list" and it seems to automatically
pick
up the list style and works just fine.

The problem is when I go to the third section. I choose "define new
multi-level list" again and this time the dialog box has lost all its
heading
links and changed the alignment and indentations.

Is what I am trying to do impossible in Word 2007?
