Until Word 2007this wasn't a problem for me. I often use a numbered heading
layout and it no longer works.
What I want looks like this:
I
A.
B.
1.
2
II.
A.
B.
1.
2.
Etc.
Instead, I Get
I
A.
B.
1.
2
II.
C.
D.
3.
4.
I am constantly having to right click "Restart numbering at 1, or at A.
This is really a waste of time, and I fail to see any logic in the default
numbering setup.
Is there any relatively simple way to may Word headings number in a logical
manner?
Thanks,
Bob

Hi Bob,

This exact same question came up not too long ago. The answer is, that by
installation default Word should be giving you what you want.

In the case I mention, the person was working with documents brought forward
from an older version of Word, and the source of the problem was coming from
the old Gallery entries (where in an earlier version of Word there was an
installation default that did this). See how far that discussion gets you.
