My documents are based on styles that I did not create. In all of the
documents, the list restarts numbering as it should. I cannot get the lists
to restart numbering in the latest doc, which is a copy of another doc, even
using all of your suggestions. Even when I manually restart the lists (72 of
them!), it reverts even tho templates are not set to automatically update.
What else can I try?

Hi Helen,
Can someone please help me? I'm wondering why everytime I apply the List
Number style, I have to restart the numbering (right-clickrestart numbering).
To put it succinctly: that's how it's been designed to work. The theory being,
if you're re-using the style, you want to continue the list (by default).
The only really reliable way to force this is to define the list style a bit
differently. Don't assign a number to Level 1; start the numbering with Level 2.
Set Level 2 to always begin renumbering after a Level 1 paragraph.
Link Level 1 to a paragraph style you know will be used between each separate
list.
