But the topic of my and grammatim's somewhat silly "sub-discussion" was
whether your example reflects actual text in the document, in which case the
steps include the number twice (as in "1 Step 1" ).

I have been asked to format published manuals (procedural documentation that
I did not write) so that they include only the processes that we use (the
published manual describes more than what we will be doing).

I am not responsible for the content, just how it is formatted.

Thanks!

Is there a reason for writing "1. Step 1." instead of just "Step 1."?

I have a training manual that describes several different events for a topic
and then gives the users instructions on how to complete each event. Under
each event I have a numbered listed that identifies the steps a user will
need to take, with each event "Restart"ing from "1". (Example below)

Topic

Event 1

1. Step 1.
2. Step 2.
3. Step 3.

Event 2

1. Step 1.
2. Step 2.
3. Step 3.

I am now using the InsertFile to bring in bookmarked sections of these
topics into one manual. The InsertFile option worked well except it
renumbered all of my steps. (See problem example below)

Topic

Event 1

1. Step 1.
2. Step 2.
3. Step 3.

Event 2

4. Step 1.
5. Step 2.
6. Step 3.

Is there anyway to "lock" the numbering for each Event so that it will have
no affect on numbering of Events that follow it?

Thanks!
