Thanks, I had read that article (and others at that site) but none made sense
at the time. They do, at least a little bit, now make sense. Other issue is
that I am working on Word 2007...different world.

Indeed, making use of a multilevel (outline) list is the easiest method to
restart numbering. (This and two more methods are described at
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/numbering/...artmethods.htm.)

Thanks! After I posted this question I did some more searching and found
steps on how to do this. What threw me was the fact that I am not
creating a
multilevel list (ours is a simple 1., 2., 3.; sometimes with a 1.a. etc).
I
did not realize how you can modify "level 1" of a multilist to not be a
number but regular paragraph formatting.

Just make sure to set up your multilevel list with the numbering set to
"(none)" for level 1. It can still restart level 2 paragraphs.

How do I do this:
"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."
Thanks!

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.
