Hello,

Can someone please help me? I'm wondering why everytime I apply the List

Thank you.

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.

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?

Hat's either ToolsTemplates and Add-InsAttach... Automatically update
styles on open, or the list template has not been correctly associated with
the styles you are using.

Read Shauna Kelly's website, and remember that a list template is not a
style, and it is not part of a style, it's a separate list description. It
can be associated with a style, and it behaves a little like a style: but
there's one of each in play in each list.

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.

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.

You are welcome.

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.)
