Which version of Word is this? Note that if you are using Word 2007, you can
no longer apply outline (multilevel) numbering via the Modify Style dialog
box for a paragraph style. However, the numbering options are still listed
at the bottom of the Modify Style dialog.
To modify the numbering in Word 2007, do the following: Place the insertion
point in the first level 1 paragraph (for example, in the first Heading 1
paragraph if you are dealing with heading numbering). Then, on the Home
ribbon tab, click Multilevel List | Define New Multilevel List. Word
displays a dialog box similar to the Customize Outline Numbered List of
previous Word versions (and the instructions at
http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/numb...Numbering.html still
apply).
To restart a numbered list, right-click a numbered paragraph and use the
shortcut menu. Alternatively, use a LISTNUM field to force numbering
restarts; see
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/numbering/...tbylistnum.htm.

Hi,
I am trying to ensure that our numbered lists always restart at number 1
rather than continuing a number from a previous list. In our new template,
we
have a list number style we created, but it does not restart with a new
list.
Our old template did not have this issue, so I looked at the list numbere
style there.
When you go into the formatting of the style and select Numbered,
everything
is turned off. However, if you look on the main page of the Modify Style
window, in the gray text near the bottom that lists all of the style
attributes that are set, there is text that says "Numbered." That seems to
be
the fundamental difference between the style that works and the style that
doesn't. Does anyone know where this is set? i see no options for that.
Both styles are paragraph styles, FYI.
Thanks
