Thanks Suzanne....

But I've read thru that document several times and for some reason my mind
isn't grasping it. Can you give me the 'readers digest' version?

I have several files that I need to 'link' into one. However, when I
insert
the 'linked file' the item numbering continues and I end up with lines
numbered "xxxx", "yyyy", "zzzz", instead of "a", "b", "c". I'm constantly
having to click the "restart numbering" to 'fix' it, but I know there has
to
be a better way.

I AM using a generic style that does numbering that I've changed slightly
(from "1" to an "a"), which says in the layout that it "starts at: 1".

What am I missing?
Thanks...
